Peñarol head into this match after a recent 4-0 thrashing in the league in mid-month, before closing things out with a draw in the cup. Boston River, meanwhile, just won 3-2 in the cup, but before that lost two league games in a row. Overall, the two teams clearly arrive in very different moods. Peñarol are unbeaten in 5 straight matches, and in the league this season they have scored 11 and conceded just 4 from 6 games, while Boston River this season have scored 9 and conceded 10 from 7 games, reflecting that they still concede more easily. But Boston River's away games have not fallen apart every time, especially in the first half, where they often trail by just one goal or are level. If Peñarol get the opening goal from the spell of pressure early in the second half where they score frequently, the game will likely flow toward the hosts continuing to attack. But if Boston River hold out until late in the first half and get their counterattacks going, the game could turn into one where the hosts dominate possession but cannot break through, and it ends with a narrow margin, as several of Boston River's previous matches have.
