The visitors, currently placed 8th with 14 points from 3 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses, are seeking to improve their fortunes. In their latest encounter, they suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat to Sporting, following a goalless draw against Atletico Progreso in their previous match. Cerro’s last 5 away matches have yielded 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses, gaining just 5 points from a potential 15.
Interestingly, they have not won as visitors in their last 4 games. Defensive frailties are evident as they have allowed goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, but their attack has been more productive, scoring in 7 of the same number of games. Of the 11 games played, they have managed to come back from behind twice in the 4 matches where they conceded first.
Cerro enters this match motivated to upset their hosts and secure vital points away from home. Their ability to adapt and show resilience could be key. By focusing on solid defence and quick counter-attacks, they hope to take advantage of any chances that arise to secure a positive result. Tactical discipline and determination will be critical in facing the challenges ahead.
