CA Progreso Montevideo (home)
- Progreso’s only win in their last 5 games came away at Danubio, but they have lost both of their most recent home games in the top flight, which is concerning.
- Tabaré Silva was named as Progreso’s new boss earlier in the season, and the task was a tough one.
- He has had to try and instill stability, structure and a tough-to-break-down 4-5-1 system on a team who have found themselves in a relegation battle this term.
- Progreso have won 1 and lost 4 of their last 5, so there is still much to do.
- Progreso average just 0.88 goals per game at home in the AUF Uruguayan top flight, scoring just 7 times on home soil in the league.
Albion FC (away)
- Albion FC are unbeaten away in the league this season, winning 4 and tying 3 of their 7 matches.
- Federico Nieves’ Albion favour a 4-4-2 system, but their build-up is patient and the ball moves well in the second lines before two strikers can run into space and punish the opposition.
- Albion FC come into this game in 3rd place in the Liga AUF Uruguaya - Apertura 2026 table, with 28 points from 15 games, whereas CA Progreso Montevideo are down in 15th, with just 10 points.
Head-to-Head
When these teams met at Progreso just 2 months ago, it finished in a 2-2 draw .
Key Players
- Matteo Copelotti leads their scoring charts with just 2 in 13, but Nahuel Lopez has 2 of their most recent 4 goals.
- Albion’s Alvaro Lopez is the complete opposite, a lethal finisher with 11 goals in 15 league games, 4 of which have come in the last 5.
Betting Insights
- The odds for Albion to win outright at 2.18 seem like a bargain bet for this one, as the visitors are unbeaten on the road and have 2 wins in their last 3 away league games.
- The 2.28 odds for over 2.5 goals look attractive.
- There is a good chance that both teams won’t get on the scoreboard, though, and that is reflected in the 1.75 price on ‘Both Teams to Score - No’.
