Penarol vs Wanderers Prediction: We expect both teams to score

The Round 12 matchup in the Uruguay Primera Division Apertura is set between Penarol and Wanderers at Campeon del Siglo Stadium. Penarol will aim to extend their unbeaten streak to four, while Wanderers will hope to prevent a defeat on the road. I advise you to use the following information when considering your betting decision.

Penarol lost one, tied one, and won three during their last five encounters. They lost against Atletico-MG in the South America Copa Libertadores Group match, while they tied against Liverpool Montevideo. However, they won against Boston River, River Plate, and Caracas in the recent match. During these matches, Penarol scored eleven goals while conceding six. Penarol are currently ranked in 1st place in the league table, having gained 29 points in 11 matches this season, which positioned them in the promotion Primera division play-offs.

After a 2-0 win against Progreso, Wanderers extended their unbeaten to three during their last five encounters. Before the match, they tied against Defensor Sporting, and they won against Fenix. However, they lost against Liverpool Montevideo and River Plate. In these matches, they have scored eight goals while conceding nine. Wanderers are in 11th place in the league table, having gained 12 points in 11 matches this season.

Penarol won three, while Wanderers failed to win any of their last 8 matches, and both teams tied in 5 matches. However, both teams were recorded in scoring against one another in two matches and scoring more than two goals were recorded in two matches.

I predict a scoring meeting from both teams here. Looking at their recent matches, they have displayed great play in front of the goals. Therefore, I expect both teams to score goals. However, Penarol will hope to prevent a home defeat, meanwhile, Wanderers will hope to build on their recent unbeaten streak. Therefore, we anticipate both teams will play a defensive performance at halftime, which can lead to a possible tie.
