Montevideo City Torque vs Montevideo Wanderers Prediction: Wanderers Looking to Carry the Unbeaten Game Form

In the upcoming fixture of the Uruguayan Primera Division, Matchday 3, Torque will take on Wanderers at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo. Going in the contest, Torque stands 6th with 2 wins and 4 points and Wanderers are placed at the 4th spot. The two sides last played in October 2022 and City Torque won (1-0). If we analyze the head-to-head run of the two teams, Torque has won in 5 outings, whereas Wanderers have taken the win in 4 encounters. In 5 of the last 10 matches played between the two, the game total was over 2.5 goals and in 6 matches both teams managed to score. Hence, the upcoming matchup is likely to be a competitive one.

Going in the contest, Torque is coming off a win against Fenix (1-2), in which Alvaro Brun and Sebastian Ribas scored goals. Carrying momentum from the last outing, CA Torque will look to expedite its home form and win. Winning at home might be tough, as Montevideo Torque has gone winless in the last 7 home games. However, Montevideo Torque will be looking to start positively, as Montevideo Torque wins 80% of its matches when they lead 1-0 at home. If we draw down our analysis to the last 5 matches played by Torque, the game total is expected to be under 2.5 goals. 

Going in the matchup, Wanderers is coming off a draw against Defensor Sporting (1-1), in which Diego Hernadez scored the equalizer in the 57th minute of play. For the upcoming fixture Montevideo Wanderers will be backing Ramiro Costa and Leonardo Pais to keep up with the scoring rate. Wanderers haven’t been quite successful against Torque, as they have managed to win just 1 of the last 4 Primera games against them. Talking about Wanderers away form, they have managed to win just 1 of their last 9 away games. Hence, winning will be tough for Wanderers. 

Going in the matchup, Torque will be favorites for winning as they have a better track record against Wanderers. If Torque manages to find the lead in the first half of play, Wanderers are unlikely to make a comeback, as they have only managed to win 21% of their matches when they are down by one goal. Hence, I am predicting a solid performance from Montevideo City Torque. The game total is expected to be under 2.5 goals and only the home side to score.

• CA Torque to Win for 2.15
• Total Under 2.5 for 1.675
• Both Teams To Score - No for 1.905
