Progreso Team Overview
Progreso sit sixth in the table with six points. Last round they picked up a vital clean sheet win over Deportivo Maldonado, 1-0. Manager Tabáre Silva has the side set up in a strict 4-4-2 with two defensive midfielders - a shape that lets them close off the central zones and absorb pressure. Away from home, they'll need to hold their nerve against the early momentum of a bigger club.
Match Results: Progreso
⭐ Editor's Pick
Nacional come into this match carrying some fatigue after a tough midweek cup run. Progreso under Tabaré Silva are known for their defensive discipline - compact, organized, hard to break down. Two defensive midfielders in the visitors' setup will likely choke the central zone and cut off space for the hosts. The favourite won't take unnecessary risks either, wary of getting caught on the counter by a motivated underdog. Given all that, total goals under 2.5 looks like the sensible call here. A 1-0 scoreline wouldn't surprise anyone.
