On Friday night, Progreso and Boston River go head-to-head at the Parque Abraham Paladino in the Uruguayan Primera Division.
Progreso are on a poor run of form of late, as the home team heads into this encounter on the back of just one win in their last 12 Primera Division matches dating back to last season.

Progreso have a poor recent home record in the Primera Division, as they have failed to win in 16 league matches on home soil.
Their poor home results have been mainly down to that aforementioned poor defence, as they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five Primera Division on home soil.
Boston River are just a place above their hosts in the Primera Division, level on points with the 15th place team.
However, the visitor’s fortunes look to be improving, as they head into this clash on the back of a three-game unbeaten run. A 1-0 win over Cerro Largo last time out ended a nine-game winless run in the Primera Division.
The visitors have a poor recent away record in the Primera Division, as they have failed to win in their last five matches on their travels.
Their most recent away matches in the Uruguayan top-flight have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last 11 away matches.
Forebet predicts that this clash will produce a low-scoring draw, which will hinder both team’s chances of moving away from the bottom of the table.
