A mid-table clash in the Primera Division where both teams need points to climb out of the lower part of the table. Deportivo Maldonado sit 7th with 8 points, while Cerro Largo are 12th with 5 points, so this is a match the hosts will want to take all three points from at home. The hosts lost their most recent league game, but before that they put together a run of wins in the league and cup. Their attack still scores regularly, and their defence has not been leaking much either. Cerro Largo, meanwhile, have not won any of their last five league games, drawing almost every one of them, but they are also hard to beat, because their defence holds its shape well and they tend to finish games with a narrow scoreline. This game is likely to see the hosts as the side that has to open up and attack, because they have the advantage both of playing at home and of superior attacking quality. Cerro Largo are likely to sit deep and wait for counter-attacks or set pieces. If the hosts score first, the game will flow even more in one direction, and there is a chance the hosts close it out with a margin of more than one goal.
