Cerro and Cerro Largo meet often enough to count as a pair who know each other's game well, especially in the most recent meeting when Cerro Largo won 2-0 at home last May. This time, though, the shape of the two teams is quite different from before, particularly on the visitors' side, who have yet to beat anyone in the league this season. Cerro have collected 17 points from 10 matches, winning 5, drawing 2 and losing 3, scoring 12 and conceding 13. They are a team whose overall form is still holding steady, even if their latest match was a just-completed 3-2 win after losing 3 of their previous 4. Cerro Largo, meanwhile, have only 5 points from 10 matches, still without a win, drawing 5 and losing 5, scoring just 6 goals, and their latest outing was a 0-1 defeat at their own ground. This game is likely to see Cerro control the attacking rhythm more, because Cerro Largo tend to sit back and wait to counter when playing away. The visitors' first half as the away side concedes an average of 0.78 goals per match, while Cerro at home score an average of 0.56 goals in the first half. What to watch from kick-off is whether Cerro can press hard enough to score early, because if the game drags on, Cerro Largo will grow more confident in their defensive setup.
