On Wednesday night, Torque and Penarol meet at the Estadio Luis Franzini in the Uruguayan Primera Division, as the home team looks to continue their recent good run of league form.
Torque are in good form after four straight league wins in the Primera Division, including a 2-0 win at Rentistas in their last league outing.

The game saw their recent good run in front of goal continue, as they scored at least two goals for the fourth straight match in the Uruguayan top-flight.
The good recent league form has left Torque fifth-place in the table, although they are just one point adrift of league leaders River Plate in a congested section of the Primera Division table.
Torque’s recent home form in the Primera Division has been decent, as they head into this game on the back of three wins in their last four league matches on home soil. They have also scored at least two goals in all three of those latest victories.
Penarol are unbeaten in eight league matches, but four of those undefeated games have finished in draws, including three of their last four matches in the Primera Division.
A 4-0 win over Deportivo Maldonado last time out ended a run of three straight draws in the Uruguayan top-flight.
One crucial factor in Penarol’s recent unbeaten run has been their strong defensive displays, as they have kept clean sheets in three of their last four league outings.
The visitors have travelled well in recent months in the Primera Division, as they are undefeated in their last 12 away matches dating back to last season.
Although they have drawn their last two away matches in the Uruguayan top-flight, they have also not conceded in three away games in the league.
Forebet predicts that this encounter will produce a low-scoring draw, which would continue both teams recent decent form in the Primera Division.
