Betting on Montevideo City Torque (Odds at +205 on DraftKings)
Torque only won four out of the 15 matches it played in the Apertura 2023. To make matters worse, it ended the season with four games without a win, resulting in two draws, and two losses. Actually, its last game was a crushing 4-0 defeat against Nacional, played at home.
Torque finished the Apertura as the worst team playing at home, failing to win any of the eight home games played. So, the team’s pending assignment is to get a victory in front of its fans, since the last time it managed to do so at the Alfredo Víctor Viera Stadium was back in October, when it narrowly beat Montevideo Wanderers 1-0.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Gastón Guruceaga; Hernán Petrik, Maximiliano Villa, Fabricio Silveira, Facundo Rodríguez; Santiago Nicolas Costa, Agustín Álvarez, Kevin Altez; Tiago Palacios, Sebastián Guerrero, Lucas Rodríguez.
Betting on Defensor Sporting Club (Odds at +115 on DraftKings)
Defensor Sporting, on the other hand, gave its all to compete head-to-head with Peñarol for the Apertura 2023 title, but it wasn’t enough. However, this new tournament could be the opportunity the team has been waiting for. In the previous championship, it performed well, especially towards the end, when it didn’t lose in the last four games. Actually, the team registered one victory, and three draws.
Being the away team in the upcoming Torque vs Defensor Sporting isn’t something that would bother it, especially as it only lost one of the seven games played in this condition. In fact, the La Farola team celebrated in the two most recent away games against Torque. That’s not all, the team also hasn’t lost or conceded any goals in the last four games.
The visitor’s performance in the previous tournament is reason enough not to underestimate them in this match. However, the main reason why this team is the favorite is that its opponent has been unable to win at home this year. So, the visitor’s winning line on DraftKings is at (+115), which means that if you bet $100, you would make a profit of $115.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Matías Dufour; Nicolás Rodríguez, Yefferson Quintana, Guillermo De Los Santos, Juan Pintado; Rodrigo Pérez, Santiago Scotto, Gonzalo Freitas; Lucas Agazzi, Adrián Balboa, Joaquín Valiente.
