Racing and Cerro Largo meet in the Uruguayan league, with the hosts sitting 9th on 16 points from 12 matches, while the visitors are 14th with 9 points from the same number of games. Their most recent matches ended very differently: Racing drew 3-3 after an open, end-to-end contest, while Cerro Largo won 2-0 to take the three points without conceding. Racing have come through a run of three straight defeats before winning 3-0 and drawing 3-3 in their last two. Overall, though, they have scored 15 and conceded 13 in 12 matches, and their defence has leaked goals in almost every game, with hardly any clean sheets. Cerro Largo, meanwhile, have drawn as many as 6 of their 12 league games this season and won only once, scoring 9 and conceding 14, though their defence has not been as leaky as the numbers suggest. Their latest 2-0 win was one of the few occasions they kept the opposition out. This game is likely to see Racing with more of the ball and pushing forward, while Cerro Largo sit in a block and look to counter. It will come down to how quickly the hosts can break down a deep defence. If Racing are as laboured as they were early in recent games, the match could drag on and end up tight. The key thing to watch after kick-off is whether Racing can impose their attacking game straight away or allow Cerro Largo to settle into their defensive shape and find a counter-attacking rhythm first.
