CA Penarol vs Danubio Prediction: Penarol’s Domination Continues in the Primera Division

In the upcoming fixture of the Uruguayan Primera Division, Matchday 11, Penarol will host Danubio at the Estadio Campeón Del Siglo. Both sides are coming off a scoreless draw in the last outing, which is why we are expecting either of the side to register a win. According to the points table standings of today, Penarol stands at the top of the points table with 6 wins and 21 points, and Danubio finds itself at the 9th spot with 3 wins and 14 points from 10 matches played so far in the contest. The last time these two teams played against each other, the match ended in a draw (1-1). In the last five matches played, Penarol has dominated Danubio, winning three and drawing two.

Going in the matchup, Penarol is coming off an unexpected draw against Cerro Largo (0-0) and a defeat previously against America MG (4-1). Coach Alfredo Arias did make substitutes in the last match against Cerro; however, Penarol couldn’t secure the equalizer. Abel Hernandez and Brian Mansilla are likely to start on the bench and then be inducted in the lineup at half-time. In the last five matches played across all competitions, Penarol has won 2, lost 2, and drawn a fixture. Secondly, Penarol has scored 4 goals, averaging 0.80 goals per game. 

• Lucas Hernandez
• Kevin Mendez
• Diego Rolan

Going in the matchup, Danubio is coming off a draw against Nacional (0-0), in which Santiago Romero, Guillermo May, Jonatan Alvez, and Juan Millan failed to make an impact. Carrying the 4-3-3 lineup forward, Danubio will depend on the likes of Techera, Vera, and Fernandez. In the last five matches played, Danubio has scored 10 goals, from which 7 came against Deportivo Maldonado and Boston River. With a striking average of 2.00 goals per game, Danubio is likely to fancy its chances and deliver a decent performance against the table toppers. As Nacional has conceded just a goal in the last four matches played, the upcoming matchup could produce a low-scoring encounter. 

• Juan Millan
• Guillermo May
• Facundo Saravia

As Club Atletico Penarol has dominated Danubio in the last five matches played between them, the upcoming matchup could also result in the home side’s favor. The match total is expected to be under 2.5 goals, and only Penarol to score. Danubio has a very nominal goal-scoring average, which is why Penarol will have to take chances and make robust clearances. I am predicting a final scoreline of 2-0 at the end of 90 minutes of play. 

• Penarol to Win for 1.80
• Total Under 2.5 for 1.628
• Both Teams To Score - No for 1.784
