Boston River's blunt attack points to an under bet

Montevideo Racing Club stuck with a 4-4-2 in their last league match, but the forward pairing of Haberkorn and Sebastian Da Silva continued to struggle. Haberkorn has failed to score in recent appearances, while Sebastian Da Silva has managed just one goal in his last four league games, underlining the team's blunt attack.

Boston River also kept faith with a 4-2-3-1 in their previous league outing. Key midfielder Felipe Avellaneda was injured during the pre-match warm-up, forcing recently recovered Yeya Gonzalez to return in the attacking midfield role, but the impact was limited. With striker Bonifacio also out of form, the side offered little attacking threat overall.

Montevideo Racing Club have no reported injuries or suspensions. Boston River are without defenders Mansul and Ignacio Fernandez, as well as midfielder Felipe Avellaneda, while they have no suspensions.

In terms of form, Montevideo Racing Club lost 1-0 to Cerro in their last league game. They are winless in their last five league matches with four draws and one defeat, scoring only twice and conceding three, showing a solid defence but limited attacking punch. Boston River were beaten 3-0 by Penarol last time out and have taken only two points from their last five league games, scoring just once in that spell. With both sides struggling badly in attack, this looks likely to be a low-scoring contest, with under goals the preferred pick.

The last four meetings between the sides in normal time have produced one win each and two draws. Montevideo Racing Club won the previous victory between them 1-0, while their last meeting produced 13 corners.
