Plaza Colonia
LLLDDD 📉
Plaza Colonia enter this game coming off the back of a 2-2 Intermediate Round drawn match against Cerro.
It’s been seldom in recent times that Plaza Colonia haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Plaza Colonia have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 10 goals on the way.
River Plate
LLLLLL 🆘
After being beaten in their last game against Peñarol in Intermediate Round action, River Plate will be aiming to make amends here.
Maximiliano Olivera (23'), Maximiliano Silvera (37') and Javier Cabrera (90') scored for Peñarol.
It has become apparent that River Plate have been starved of goals in their past 6 clashes, recording the unsatisfactory return of just 2. In those matches, La Dársena have also seen the overall goal tally against them equal 11. Previous results aside, we must now wait to see whether that trend will be replicated in this game or not.

Team News: Plaza Colonia
There’s just one fitness concern for the Plaza Colonia boss Nicolás Vigneri to be concerned with due to a largely intact group of players. Haibrany Ruíz Díaz (Sore muscles) is sidelined.
🗞️
Team News: River Plate
Thanks to a largely healthy squad, there is just the one fitness issue for the River Plate gaffer Gustavo Díaz to contend with. Mauro Estol (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing here.
💭
Prediction
We’re inclined to think that River Plate may well find it hard to score goals against this Plaza Colonia outfit who we reckon will score at least once to gain the upper hand.
Our tip is therefore for a very even contest with a 1-0 victory for Plaza Colonia at the end of the match.
Let’s see how it plays out.
