Betting on Racing
Racing is looking to end its negative streak of results, which includes three winless games with two draws and one loss. The team has recorded three wins, six draws, and four losses after 13 matchdays, with half of those losses taking place in its last five matches.
The team owes its fanbase a win, as it has not been able to secure a victory in its last seven home matches. During this period, the Racing team has managed to reach five draws and suffer two losses, making it the third-worst team in the league when playing at home. If they manage to win this match, the team would be able to celebrate its first win at home since its promotion to the First Division. In fact, its last home win took place in September 2022 when the team defeated Sud América 4-2 in the Second Division.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Nicolás Gentilio; Pablo Agustin Pereira Castelnoble, Matias Velazquez, Santiago Mouriño, Diego Sosa; Ariel Cabral, Javier Méndez; Agustín Alaniz, Jose Varela, Luis Gorocito; Matías Benítez
Betting on Peñarol
Peñarol is dominating the Uruguayan league with nine wins, three draws, and only one loss, and it is the team with the most wins and the least amount of losses. It has a total of 30 points, which makes it the overall leader. Now, this team is in need to win this game to be crowned champion, as there is only one more matchday left to definde the tournament. With three points at stake, its pursuer Nacional would not be able to catch up.
In its previous performance, the team won 2-1 away from home against Plaza Colonia, but its only defeat this season happened on its opponents’ field. Moreover, this team has lost three out of eight away games in all competitions so far in 2023.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Thiago Cardozo; Pedro Milans, Hernán Menosse, Yonatthan Rak, Lucas Hernández; Carlos Sánchez, Sebastián Cristóforo, Sebastián Rodríguez, Kevin Méndez; Abel Hernández, Matías Arezo.
JefeBet Prediction
Although El Carbonero may not be the most reliable away team, it is the team that has done the most to win the championship, and it is very close to doing so. The team will face an opponent that returned to the First Division this season, and that has not been able to win. This is one of the reasons why Peñarol could be expected to win this match, besides having more than enough motivation to go for the three points.
Prediction: Penarol Moneyline (RAC 0-1 PEÑ)
