On Saturday night, early-season Uruguayan Primera Division leaders Plaza Colonia host Nacional at the Parque Cincuentenario Juan Gaspar Prandi, as the home team look to continue the fine start to their league campaign.
Plaza Colonia are currently top of the table after picking up seven points from their opening three matches in the Primera Division.
The home side kicked off their campaign with wins over City Torque and Villa Espanola before a 0-0 draw against Penarol last time out.
The home team’s decent record stretches back to last season, as they have now won five of their previous seven outings in the Uruguayan top-flight.
A solid defensive record has been the key to their start to the new league campaign, as they have conceded just one goal in their last three league outings.
Plaza Colonia’s recent home record has also been a factor in their good recent results, as they are currently on a seven-game winning run on home soil in the Primera Division.
Nacional have started their campaign with two wins from their three matches in the Uruguayan top-flight. A 2-1 home defeat against Cerro Largo last time out ended a five-game winning run dating back to last season.
Their most recent league games have been high-scoring, as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last ten matches in the Primera Division.
Nacional have a good recent away record in the Uruguayan top-flight, winning six of their last seven on their travels. Their recent matches on their travels have been relatively high-scoring with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four away games.
Forebet predicts that Nacional will end the home team’s unbeaten start to the league campaign by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
