City Torque is looking confident heading into this matchup after two wins in their last 5 outings. With impressive goal scoring stats, having scored 7 goals from 5 matches, and a strong player such as T. Palacios who has already netted himself 3 goals in the tournament thus far, it is reasonable to expect a competitive performance from them. The last match-up against Wanderers ended in a 1-2 loss, yet the team holds an average of 0.75 goals and 0.88 conceded against similarly ranked opponents, while having secured 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in the season so far. City Torque is coming in to play with a full team and crowd support hoping to maximize their potential and secure a victory.
Peñarol is setting their sights high with their unbeaten run in their last 5 matches. Their 4 away goals have given them a well-deserved 5 points. Giving them the fourth spot in the standings. Looking ahead to their next match, they will have the upper-hand on their side with A. Hernandez's two goals against the opposing team in their last meeting. With a full complement of players, Peñarol is sure to make an impressive showing on match-day.
In anticipation of the upcoming match between Peñarol and City Torque, statistics reveal that in their previous nine meetings, both sides have produced a healthy average of 2.11 goals. However, historically, they have met twelve times with City Torque coming out on top with four victories and three draws, while Peñarol emerged victorious in five of the contests. Regardless of the past results, this upcoming match promises to be a thrilling and exciting affair.
As City Torque stands just four points away from first place in the Primera Division table, an exciting opportunity has arisen. A victory over Boston River could see the talented team jump to the top spot, offering a major boost of motivation and inspiring the players to reach for even more goals. Now is the perfect time for City Torque to make their move and give their supporters something to cheer for.
