Central Espanol
- Central Espanol have won their last 2 games, beating Deportivo Maldonado 2-1 at home and Nacional 0-1 away.
- Central, who begin this round in 4th place on 17 points from 10 games, have had a good start to the season, largely thanks to the efforts of Pablo de Ambrosio.
- The manager has instilled a structured and disciplined approach upon his squad, with Central regularly setting up in compact blocks to stifle their opponents and then using their physicality and pace on the break to make the most of the space their pressing creates.
- The hosts have won two and lost two of their four home games this season, averaging 1.25 goals per game scored and 1.50 per game conceded.
Danubio
- Danubio have won just 1 of their last 5 matches, failing to win any of their previous 2 away outings.
- The visitors, who are 12th on 13 points after ten games, have struggled for consistency this term.
- They have won just one of their five away matches in the league in 2026’s Liga AUF Uruguaya - Apertura, drawing once and losing three times.
- The Frutas del Litoral outfit have scored just 0.60 goals per away game and conceded 1.80 per match on average.
- Monarriz will hope to have instilled a new identity upon the Danubio squad, and his team have certainly looked more assured in possession than they were under previous management.

Prediction
- This game will be a clash of opposing tactics, with a quick and disciplined Central side looking to punish the more sophisticated, possession-heavy Danubio.
- With two wins in a row, Central should have enough momentum to see off their visitors, but they may well concede along the way against a side who have more technical quality than they do.
