Jornada 10 del Apertura uruguayo con Progreso recibiendo a Peñarol. Totalmente distintos los objetivos que persiguen ambos equipos. El peso de la historia y el mayor nivel de competencia de los de la visita los hacen partir en una ligera ventaja en un partido que debería tener goles de ambas partes.
Progreso arrives in the bottom places of the standings, going through a rough patch having only achieved 1 victory so far this season. However, lately they have been able to add some points to their tally through draws, achieving 4 draws out of their last 6 games, but continue to have difficulties in finishing matches off with a victory. They are also not being consistent at home, adding a total of 6 home league games without victories including those late in the last season. Their recent history against Peñarol at this stadium also does not favour them as they are winless from the last 7 head to head matches at home.
Peñarol, on the other hand, arrives in second place and despite their recent defeat to Racing in that important clash, are still in with a shot at the top spot - five wins in their last seven league games indicates just how hotly contested this tournament still is. In their last three away games they have shown solid form, winning them all. Recent trips to the Progreso's ground also favour the visiting side, having won the last three.
