Head-to-head statistics Defensor - Racing
Defensor Sporting are struggling to pick up points
Defensor Sporting's most recent Primera División match on 17 October 2026 ended in a 0-1 away defeat to Boston River. Despite enjoying more possession and creating more dangerous attacks - 66 to 49 - they were outshot on target 2-4.

Their averages over the last ten games - 1.1 goals scored and 1.6 conceded per match - reflect instability at both ends of the pitch.

Racing Montevideo come into this match with maximum motivation but poor recent results. Their form has been far from ideal: three defeats and just one win in their last five matches point to a drop in concentration during this stretch of the season.
