⭐ Editorial Prediction
The main factor behind our selection is the trend of Racing Montevideo going six consecutive league matches without a win away from home - despite the visitors' league-leading position and their status as match favourites based on the season as a whole. The final round eases the pressure on both sides: Cerro are playing without any clear objective, while Racing Montevideo have already celebrated the title and can afford to rotate or reduce their intensity away from home - particularly given that this run has continued over a significant stretch specifically in away matches against comparable opponents in the Uruguayan Primera División this season. Our main prediction is Double Chance - X1 (Cerro not to lose).
