A 4-2 win at Cerro Largo last time out does mean that the home side is three games unbeaten in the Uruguayan top-flight.
Their games have been relatively high-scoring this season, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league matches.
River Plate tend to have a decent home record and go into this clash unbeaten in their last seven league matches on home soil.
Both teams have scored in River Plate’s last four home matches in the Primera Division, so they haven’t had all their own way on home soil of late.
Progreso have made a poor start to the new campaign in the Primera Division, as they have failed to win any of their last four league matches so far this season, picking up just two points from their games in the current league campaign.
In fact, Progreso have now failed to win any of their last six Primera Division games dating back to last season, suffering four defeats in the process.
The poor start to the current campaign has left the visitors 14th place in the Primera Division table.
The visitors have struggled for results on the road of late in the Uruguayan top-flight, having won just one of their last five league games going back to last season.
Both of this season’s away matches have finished 0-0, so at least they are unbeaten away from home in the current league campaign.
Forebet predicts that River Plate will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter, a result that will just continue the visitors poor start to the Primera Division campaign.
