Juventud

DWWLWW

Juventud will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 2-4 Primera Division (Apertura) success over Montevideo City Torque.

The only scorer from Juventud was Nicolás Leguizamón (90').

It’s been seldom in recent times where Juventud have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Juventud have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 8 goals in the process.

Pre-game facts show that Juventud:

• have left without a victory over Peñarol when playing them at home in the last 2 matches in the league.
• have not registered a win against Peñarol in their last 4 league games.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 3 league matches at home.

Peñarol

DDDLLL 📉

Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Liverpool FC in Primera Division (Apertura) competition, Peñarol and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

Abel Hernández (27', 59') was the scorer for Liverpool FC.

It is worth noting that Peñarol have failed to get amongst the goals over their previous 6 clashes, contributing the unsatisfactory return of just 3. In those matches, Aurinegros have also seen the collective goal aggregate of their opponents equal 9. Historical results aside, we’ll just have to find out whether such a trend shall be maintained in this upcoming game or not.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Looking at their past head to head clashes dating back to 25/09/2016 tells us that Juventud have won 1 of these games and Peñarol 3, with the number of drawn games being 2.

In all, 11 goals were scored between them throughout the course of those matches, with 3 for Canarios and 8 netted by Aurinegros. That’s an average goals per game of 1.83.

The last league match between these clubs was Primera Division match day 3 on 21/09/2019 when it ended Juventud 1-1 Peñarol.

🗞️ Team News: Peñarol

Peñarol boss Diego Aguirre has to currently contend with reduced team options. Eduardo Darias (Cruciate ligament tear) and Tomás Olase (Cruciate ligament tear) are not able to play.

🔮 Prediction

Our assessment is that Juventud are capable enough to put one past this Peñarol outfit, although one goal is unlikely to be enough.

We’ve gone for a very close game with a 1-2 advantage for Peñarol at the end of the 90 minutes. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
