Head-to-head statistics Cerro - Maldonado
What’s behind Cerro’s recent dip in form?
Cerro have been going through an inconsistent spell: across their last five matches they have managed just one draw alongside two defeats and two wins. Their attacking output is limited - they are averaging just 1.1 goals per game over their last ten matches, and their home performances reflect the same difficulties in front of goal, with an average of 0.5 goals. Defensively they have also been struggling, conceding at a rate of 1.4-1.5 goals per game, which is costing them points even against comparable opposition.
Match Results: Cerro
Deportivo Maldonado are in fine form and have kept their defense tight, conceding nothing.
Deportivo Maldonado come into this match in fine form: three consecutive wins and only one defeat in their last five games point to a consistent side over the course of a run.

Match Results: Deportivo Maldonado
Total Goals Prediction
Deportivo Maldonado have seen under 2.5 goals in 9 of their last 10 away matches, which points to a fairly consistent trend of low scoring on the road. Cerro, meanwhile, are extremely low-scoring at home, averaging no goals per season at home and just 1 goal across their last 10 home matches. Against that backdrop, Total Goals - Under 2.5 at 1.55* looks justified.
A Risky Bet
Deportivo Maldonado have been highly productive this season - averaging 3 goals per match overall and 2 away from home - and are yet to lose a game. Cerro have not won at home and are conceding an average of 2 goals per match on their own ground. Against that backdrop, the line on an away win with handicap (-1) at 3.05* looks risky, but is justified by the difference in class and the recent statistics.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely outcomes for this match are: 0:1 (15.39%), 0:2 (13.78%) and 0:0 (11.62%). The most probable result is a narrow away win, though the chances of a goalless draw or a two-goal victory for Deportivo Maldonado are also fairly high.
*Odds are indicative and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
The statistics for both sides support an expectation of a cautious match: Cerro have clear difficulties in attack at home, rarely managing even a single goal per game, while Deportivo Maldonado stay compact and give opponents very little, particularly away from home - a strong low-scoring trend backs this up, with fewer than three goals in 9 of their last 10 away matches. Current form on both sides does nothing to suggest open football either - the hosts score infrequently, while the visitors prioritise defensive solidity and avoid taking risks on the road. The editors' main prediction is Total Goals - Under 2.5.
