These two teams meet often enough that they should know each other's game well. Racing are still unbeaten against Defensor Sporting in the last two meetings, but this time the form of both sides is quite different from before, especially the hosts, who are struggling near the bottom of the table. Defensor Sporting have just won 1-0 in the league, but before that they lost on the trot in three consecutive league games, including 2-3 defeats in back-to-back matches. A defence that has conceded 20 goals in 11 games is the main problem still unresolved. As for Racing, they have just thrashed the opposition 3-0 at home, but before that they failed to score at all in three consecutive games, so their attack is still not settled, even though overall they clearly concede fewer goals than the hosts. This game is likely to start with both sides cautious, and the first half may end level or with just a single goal separating them, because neither team scores much in the first half. But the second half is likely to open up more, especially in the closing stages when both sides concede particularly often. If Defensor Sporting can hold their form the way they did in the last match, this game has a chance of ending closely contested and unbeaten.
