Cerro vs CerritoPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Montevideo hosts the opening group game of the Copa Uruguay between Cerro and Cerrito, a stage with no table where only recent results matter. Cerro arrive on the back of two 1-1 draws, away at Wanderers and away at Boston River, while further back sits a 0-4 defeat at Liverpool Montevideo. In the two outings before that they had won 2-1 against Albion FC and 1-0 away at Danubio: two wins, two draws and one defeat in the last five. Cerrito bring thinner returns: 0-2 at home to Deportivo Maldonado, 1-2 away at Sportivo Huracan, and before that a 3-0 over Uruguay Montevideo, a 1-1 with Oriental and a 0-1 at Colón. Three defeats, one draw and one win, with five goals scored and six conceded in five matches. The only head-to-head on record dates back to 18 February 2012, when Cerro won 4-1 at Cerrito. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
