Atlético Fénix come into the match having previously recorded a 2-0 win at Cerrito in the Uruguay Primera Division. Both goals were scored in the first half, with Atlético Fénix opening the scoring in the 20th minute and doubling their advantage 8 minutes later.
That was the first victory for Atlético Fénix in 7 matches in all competitions. In terms of the Primera Division, Atlético Fénix have recorded only 1 win from their 6 most recent games.
They have lost 4 of those 6 matches, with the defeats coming at home against River Plate and Plaza Colonia plus away to Wanderers and Cerro Largo. Atlético Fénix did manage to pick up a point in a 1-1 draw at Boston River.
Trends show Atlético Fénix have recorded 2 wins from their last 6 home league matches but they have tasted defeat only 3 times in their last 11 at Parque Capurro.
Trends show there have been under 2.5 goals scored in the 4 most recent Primera Division games of Atlético Fénix and in 5 of their last 6 league matches on home soil.
Defensor Sporting travel to Parque Capurro on the back of a disappointing 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Cerro Lego.
It was a match Defensor Sporting were hoping to win against a team below them in the table but it was not to be as the visitors scored the only goal of the game in the 90th minute from the penalty spot.
That was the first defeat for Defensor Sporting in 5 matches in all competitions. They had won each of their previous 4 games, with wins over Wanderers at home plus Plaza Colonia and River Plate away in the Primera Division. There was also a 1-0 win at Racing in the Copa Uruguay.
Trends show Defensor Sporting are unbeaten in their last 7 away Primera Division games. They have won each of their last 4 away matches in the Primera Division and kept a clean sheet in each of their last 3 games on the road.
Team news and Atlético Fénix have the experienced striker Fabian Estoyanoff to call upon in attack and he could be joined by exciting young prospect Sebastian De Marco.
Defensor Sporting also have an experienced forward in their ranks, with Alvaro Navarro the most senior player in their squad. 18 year old Anderson Duarte is an exciting attacking talent.
Given the recent form of both teams, we do not expect to see many goals in this game, with under 2.5 goals highly likely. In fact, it would not come as shock to see just 1 goal in this game, with Defensor Sporting scoring the only goal of the match.
