Racing host Peñarol in the Primera Division, with the home side sitting 8th on 12 points from 8 matches, while the visitors are 3rd with 17 points from the same number of games. Racing need points here to climb out of the mid-table zone, while Peñarol want to keep their rhythm going. Racing lost 1-2 in the league last time out, and before that also lost 0-3 in the cup, so results have not gone their way lately, though at home they are still a steady side. Peñarol are different: unbeaten in 5 straight, with 3 wins and 2 draws, and they just won 2-1 in the league last time out. The visitors' attack has been scoring consistently throughout this stretch. If Peñarol score first, the game will likely flow the visitors' way, because Racing have struggled to keep up lately. But if the hosts defend tight and wait for the counter, the game could stretch deep into the closing stages, which is when both teams most often concede.
