Match description

The favorites appear to be the visitors, Deportivo Maldonado. They have 21 goals scored this season versus 8 for Cerro, and on the road they average 1.43 goals per match while the hosts record only 0.71 goals per home match. Maldonado also show better shot conversion (conversion 13% vs 7%), a higher average of shots (11.43 vs 10) with the same average of shots on target 4.14 and greater possession (51% vs 40%). Cerro have a defensive edge at home — only 0.71 goals conceded on average and xG against 1.26 versus 1.43 goals conceded and xG against 1.35 for Maldonado away — which should limit the margin of defeat. Considering 1.4 points per game for the visitors in the last 5 matches versus 1.0 for the hosts, I forecast a Maldonado win, with a moderate risk of a draw.
