Defensor Sporting and Cerro meet often enough to know each other's game well, and in the last six meetings the hosts have taken as many as four wins. This time, though, the pattern does not favour Defensor Sporting the way it used to, because the team still cannot find a win in the league, while Cerro have been picking up points more consistently this season. Defensor Sporting have just lost two league games in a row, especially the latest one, a 2-3 defeat in which the defence let the opposition into dangerous areas far too easily. As for Cerro, although they lost their last game 0-2, before that they kept a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw and clearly have a better defensive record than the hosts. This should be a game where Defensor Sporting have more of the ball and try to push high up the pitch, but Cerro are good at sitting deep and waiting to counter at speed. If the hosts keep conceding easily the way they have lately, the game could end with Cerro avoiding defeat, and that is what to watch from the first whistle.
