Racing Montevideo vs Club NacionalPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The second round of the Clausura takes the two sides to the Estadio Osvaldo Roberto in Montevideo, and there is very little evidence to work with. Racing Montevideo opened the stage with a 2-2 away draw, the only point they have collected so far and the only ninety minutes on their record. Club Nacional lost their opening game 1-2 in front of their own supporters and are still without a point. Two matches, five goals between them: a tiny sample that has to be read alongside the wider rhythm of Uruguayan football, where the league is averaging 2.40 goals a game. With one round played the table says almost nothing yet, and the picture will only take shape as the calendar fills in. 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.
