Racing Montevideo Team Overview
Racing Montevideo come into this one off a narrow 0-1 loss to Cerro - a game they dominated in terms of possession and corners (seven of them), but couldn't convert. One shot on target. That tells you everything about where the problems are. At home, though, they tend to be sharper and more aggressive from the off. The coaching staff will have taken note of what went wrong, and you'd expect them to come out with a clearer plan in attack.

Boston River Team Overview
Boston River are in an even worse headspace after being taken apart 3-0 by Peñarol. In that match they were all over the place - six yellow cards in 90 minutes. Going forward they had nothing to offer either, managing just one shot on target all game. Away from home, they tend to lose focus under crowd pressure and make basic errors at the back. Turning that around on the road won't be easy.

⭐ Editor's Pick
The hosts look like the more balanced side, despite the slip-up last round. Boston River are in poor form and keep picking up needless bookings. Racing know how to control a match and, with the crowd behind them, should take charge from the off. The visitors will struggle to contain the pressure without constantly fouling. Given Boston River's defensive problems, a Racing win looks the most likely outcome. A 1-0 scoreline wouldn't surprise anyone.
