Peñarol, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 2-0 Intermediate Round victory against Montevideo Wanderers.
The only scorer from Peñarol was Maximiliano Silvera (47').
Diego Aguirre's Peñarol have found the net a sum total of 11 times over their past six outings. The comparative number of goals that have been scored against them in that time stands at 5.
After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Defensor Sporting in Intermediate Round competition, Cerro and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
During their six latest matches, Gustavo Ferreyra's Cerro have slotted home a total of 7 times therefore giving them the goals scored per game average of 1.17.
A quick look at their past head to head results going back to 16/01/2021 reveals that these encounters have not been good ones for Cerro. They have not managed to come away with any wins at all whereas Peñarol have been too good for them, winning in 67 per cent of those games played.
A total of 18 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 15 of them from Aurinegros and 3 for Villeros. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.
The last league clash featuring these sides was Primera Division (Apertura) match day 13 on 27/04/2025 when it ended Peñarol 3-1 Cerro.
Eduardo Darias (Cruciate ligament tear) and Tomás Olase (Cruciate ligament tear) will be missing for Peñarol gaffer Diego Aguirre.
Cerro manager Gustavo Ferreyra has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Pablo Da Silveira (unknown injury) and Yonatan Irrazábal (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered.
For this match, we think that Peñarol will more than likely be able to score a couple when they come up against Cerro, who won’t find it easy to score.
We’re predicting a fairly comfortable 2-0 winning margin for Peñarol at the end of the 90 minutes.
