Betting on Penarol
As Penarol prepares to host Millonarios, the Uruguayan team brings with them a rich history and a wealth of experience, despite not having the debut they were hoping for.
In their local league, the aurinegros have been performing exceptionally well and currently reign supreme in Uruguay’s First Division with seven wins in eleven matches. Under the guidance of coach Alfredo Arias, they are unstoppable in their domestic tournament and even rank second in terms of goals scored. Their most recent match was against Danubio, where they secured a 2-0 victory.
However, in the Copa Sudamericana, they have yet to taste victory, having suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat against América-MG in their previous game. It’s expected that in this Peñarol vs Millonarios clash, they can turn things around and secure their first three points as hosts.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Thiago Cardozo; Leo Coelho, Pedro Milans, Hernán Menosse, Lucas Hernández; Sebastián Cristóforo, Sebastián Rodríguez, Santiago Homenchenko, Kevin Méndez; Nicolas Rossi, Matías Arezo.

This upcoming match will be crucial for the Colombian team, who arrives after a regular but effective performance in its domestic tournament. The ambassador occupies the second place in the BetPlay League standings with seven wins in twelve opportunities and are only 3 points behind the leader, Águilas Doradas.
In the first match of the first day, they demonstrated a great level and surprised those who thought that the Argentines would takeall the three points. They won with a crushing 3-0 scoreline against Defensa y Justicia. During the match, the winning formula was repeated and the build up play of David Silva, accompanied by the imminent effectiveness of Leonardo Castro, set off the party in Bogotá.
For this new Peñarol vs Millonarios clash, the visitors are expected to be a little more cautios on defense but continue to generate play through Silva and Daniel Cataño. It is worth mentioning that Alberto Gamero’s team has now gone four consecutive away games without a loss.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Álvaro Montero; Elvis Perlaza, Óscar Vanegas, Juan Pablo Vargas, Jorge Arias; Larry Vásquez, Daniel Giraldo; Daniel Cataño, David Silva, Oscar Cortés; Leonardo Castro.
