Racing
- Racing have failed to win either of their last two at home, drawing once and losing once.
- Racing have been very inconsistent of late, winning just 1 of their last 5 (D1, L3), but a confidence-boosting 3-2 away win over River Plate last week should help them in this encounter, according to our Racing Club de Montevideo vs CA Progreso Montevideo prediction.
- Cristian Chambian’s Racing use a front-heavy, flexible system, with plenty of width and quick vertical transitions when in possession.
- Racing’s home record in the Clausura has been shaky, with 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses from 4, scoring just 2 goals in the process.
CA Progreso
- CA Progreso Montevideo have won 3 of their last 5 games, drawing another.
- Ignacio Lemmo is Progreso’s most immediate threat, with the midfielder scoring 4 times in 8 appearances in the Clausura, 3 of Progreso’s last 7 across 5 games.
- Their latest results include a 2-0 home win against Montevideo Wanderers and a 0-0 away draw with River Plate, both of which would have been considered upsets and highlight some interesting Racing Club de Montevideo vs CA Progreso Montevideo betting tips for this fixture.
- Progreso are a more rigid, structured side, operating a 4-4-2 system in which they remain compact and attempt to frustrate their opponents, sitting low and hitting on the counterattack.
Head-to-Head
They have a strong record over Progreso however, beating the visitors in both recent meetings, most recently a 3-0 win in this fixture three months ago.
Key Players
