NextGOAL tip: Defensor Sporting (level) · 3 stars
Albion have not won a single game this season and have not picked up even a point from their last 8 matches. This game is therefore one where they must fight at home to find a way out. Meanwhile, Defensor Sporting have 8 points from the same number of games, still comfortably above the lower zone, and need points from this game to keep the situation from becoming pressured. Albion have lost 2 in a row and are winless in 5 straight, struggling in attack while conceding regularly at the back. Defensor Sporting just lost 0-1 in the cup, but in the league they still pick up wins here and there and have avoided defeat in 3 of their last 5. This game is likely to take the shape of Albion having to open up and attack, because they need their first three points of the season, while Defensor Sporting will probably sit in a block and wait for counter-attacking chances, especially late in the game when Albion tend to concede. If the hosts push too hard without taking the lead, the game could end with the visitors profiting from counter-attacks.
