Nacional host Montevideo City Torque in a league game where both sides need points for different reasons. The hosts sit 5th, five points behind their opponents, so they must take the home win to avoid slipping out of the top group, while the visitors in 2nd need points to hold on to their position. Nacional are in hot form, on a winning run, and just closed things out with a 2-0 league win. Montevideo City Torque, meanwhile, have stuttered more than usual, drawing two of their last three, even though they remain hard to beat and have scored plenty all season. This game is interesting because both teams score late goals about equally often. If Nacional get the opening goal with the home crowd behind them, the game should flow the hosts' way as they control the tempo and close it out. But if the visitors score first, the hosts will have to open up and trade blows, which would make the game immediately more entertaining.
