Our thinking is that Montevideo Wanderers should really fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they play Plaza Colonia, who might well find it a difficult task to find the back of the net.

We’re therefore anticipating a controlled 2-0 victory for Montevideo Wanderers at full-time.
