This Primera Division league fixture has more to play for than the standings suggest, because Peñarol sit 5th, several points behind the top of the table, while Wanderers are 11th and are looking for a way out of a stretch where results have simply not gone their way. Peñarol have played 12 matches, won 6, drawn 4, lost 2, scoring 16 and conceding 8, but in their last five they have won just the one game 1-0 and have not beaten anyone in four straight. Their attack is not as sharp as it should be. Wanderers, meanwhile, have played 12, won 4, drawn 3, lost 5, scoring 13 and conceding 18, and have lost three in a row, most recently going down 0-1 after a 0-3 defeat before that. In the last ten matches Peñarol have put more shots on target (4.89 per game compared with 3.3) and both sides have had similar possession at around 50%. If Peñarol can press from the start and not let Wanderers sit deep until the end of the first half, the game should flow toward the home side, who will gradually grind out a goal from their advantage in the final third. The thing to watch after kick-off is how high Peñarol push their line, because if the game drifts to half-time, the chance of a comfortable win will keep slipping away.
