⭐ Editor's Pick
Expecting real fireworks from a first-round match in Uruguay would be foolish. Especially from teams that have had problems with scoring throughout the entire summer. We think the match between Central Española and Progreso will feature cautious football from both clubs, who will be focused on keeping things solid at the back. With that in mind, a bet on total under 2.5 goals seems like a decent choice. A 1:0 scoreline is possible.
