On Friday evening, CA Rentistas host CA Torque at the Complejo Deportivo Rentistas, as the home side attempt to kick start their campaign in the Uruguayan Primera Division.
Rentistas have made a poor start to the new campaign in the Uruguayan top flight, picking up just four points from their opening five matches. Their points tally leaves them 13th place in the league table.

A 1-1 draw at Penarol last time out in the Primera Division means that Rentistas have won just one of their last seven league games, suffering five defeats in the process.
At least the draw ended a run of two straight defeats in the top-flight.
Their most recent defeats have been caused by a lack of firepower, as Rentistas have failed to score in all five of those recent league losses.
Rentistas recent results have not been helped by their poor form on home soil, as they have now suffered four straight home defeats in the Primera Division.
After losing their opening two league games of the season, Torque have bounced back in style by recording three straight league victories.
A 2-1 home win over Wanderers last time out saw the visitors score at least two goals for the third straight league match. The winning run means that Pablo Marini’s team are just three points off the top of the table.
Torque have been inconsistent on their travels of late, winning just one of their last four league matches on the road.
However, that one was in their last away game in a 2-1 win over Boston River. The visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet in six away matches in the Primera Division.
Forebet predicts that Torque will continue their winning run by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
