Betting on Danubio Futbol Club
Esteban Conde’s team is going through a tough crisis, especially in local competitions. This team recently suffered a heavy 1-3 defeat against newly-promoted La Luz, and it hasn’t tasted victory at home since March 25th, when it beat Deportivo Maldonado 4-0. Since then, Danubio has gone six games without a win, with five losses and one draw.
But it’s not all bad news for the home team. In the Copa Sudamericana, it shares the top spot in Group B with Huracan, Emelec, and Guaraní, all with four points. Besides, it is also unbeaten at home in international competitions, and it has won three out of its six local games. It’s worth noting that all its victories in the tournament have come at home.
It is the fifth-highest scoring team in the Uruguayan League with 19 goals. However, the 18 goals it conceded spoke volumes about how weak its defense was over the course of the fourteen games.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Emiliano Bermúdez; Rafael Haller Piloni, Santiago Etchebarne, Lucas Monzón, Leandro Otermin; Kevin Lewis, Juan Santarcieri, Santiago Silva; Alejo Cruz, Sebastián Fernández, Guillermo May.
Betting on Defensor Sporting Club
Marcelo Méndez Russo’s team is looking to end a decent local championship. It is currently in third place with 24 points, having only lost two of its fourteen games, and is only behind Penarol in this regard.
Although Defensor has only won one of the last five matches, it has won four of the last five away games. In three of those games, it scored at least three goals, impressive numbers that suggest a high-scoring away game is worth betting on.
The numbers are definitely on the side of the visiting team, who will play at Jardines del Hipódromo. With 26 goals, it is the highest-scoring team in the Uruguayan league, and with only 13 goals conceded, it has the fifth-best defense in the competition.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Matías Dufour; Juan Pintado, Guillermo De Los Santos, Yeferson Quintana; Álvaro Navarro, Lucas Agazzi Galeano, Nicolás Rodríguez, Rodrigo Pérez Casada, Fernando Elizari; Joaquín Valiente Cioli, Adrián Balboa.
JefeBet Prediction
The away team is the clear favorite to take home the three points in this match, at least according to the statistics. However, we must not forget that just two months ago, Danubio knocked Defensor Sporting out of the Copa Sudamericana in the previous phase of the continental tournament. Therefore, at JefeBet, we’re betting on a draw in what will be the season finale for both clubs.
Prediction: Tie (DAN 1-1 DEF)
