⚡ Prediction

We’re thinking that Nacional de Football should have enough to find the back of the net against this Peñarol lineup, but it possibly won’t quite be as many as they will have scored against them.

We’re expecting a very close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Peñarol when the full-time whistle blows. Should be a good one.
