This Primera Division match at the Estadio Centenario carries weight for both sides of the table. Montevideo City Torque sit 3rd with 22 points from 11 games, while Cerro are 7th, 4 points behind, and the teams met in the league just this April, drawing 1-1 with Cerro at home. Montevideo City Torque return home after a 2-0 away win in the Copa Sudamericana, but before that they lost 0-2 at home in the league to an opponent who pressed well. Overall this season they have scored 21 and conceded 12 in 11 games, and they remain a team that clearly creates more chances than their opponents. Cerro, meanwhile, are unbeaten in two straight league games, but both were draws, 0-0 and 1-1. Their attack is not yet sharp, with 13 goals in 11 games, while their defence has conceded 14 as well. The pattern should be Montevideo City Torque dominating the ball and pushing high, with Cerro sitting back and waiting to counter. The first half may well be goalless as both sides start cautiously, but in the second half, as the hosts speed up and Cerro are forced to open up more space, the game should become a more end-to-end contest.
