Montevideo City Torque
- Montevideo City Torque have the better home record (W3, D1, L2) and have scored 11 goals in six home league games this season.
- Mendez has introduced a progressive, attacking style of soccer since taking over at the club in July of last year, and his team have scored plenty of goals this season as a result.
- The hosts like to dominate the ball, create overloads wide and press to force turnovers high up the field, and it should make for a high-tempo game against a Progreso team who have no choice but to try and counter.
CA Progreso Montevideo
- Progreso will come to play a compact style of football, but their away record (W1, D2, L3) has seen them concede seven goals in their six away league games this year.
- Progreso have been more pragmatic in their approach, setting up in a low-block and looking to get numbers behind the ball, but the recent managerial changes at the club have made it difficult to find consistency in their style.
Key Players
- Salomon Rodriguez is the danger man for Torque this year with six goals in 12 league appearances,
- Copelotti has netted twice in the same number of appearances for the visitors, who will still be looking for consistency in the final third under Tabaré Silva.
Head-to-Head
