Danubio vs Penarol Prediction: We expect a close contest in the halftime

The match between Danubio and Penarol for the fifth round of the Uruguayan Primera Division Torneo Intermedio will take place at the Jardines del Hipodromo Stadium. The home team, which is currently ranked third overall, will compete in the game with the goal of claiming victory on their own turf. The squad that is now in fifth place and is travelling will be hoping to avoid losing while they are away from home.

Danubio's record over the course of their most recent five matches is three victories and two defeats. In their matches against Huracan, Montevideo City, and La Luz, they emerged winners, but in their contests against Emelec and Boston River, they were soundly defeated. In their last five games, they have scored four goals while allowing three to be scored against them. Since they will be competing on their home turf, they are feeling optimistic about their chances of regaining their winning ways.

Penarol broke a skid of four consecutive games without a victory against Montevideo City by claiming a 2-0 victory at home in a contest that was competitive. They had a losing record coming into the game after suffering losses to Defensa y Justicia, River Plate, and America-MG in their previous three matches. despite the fact that they tied in one against the Wanderers in a contest that was scoreless and very tight. In their last five games, they have totaled a tally of four goals while allowing eight goals against. They will enter this match with the objective of securing a victory away from home.

It is reasonable to anticipate that both of these teams will go into this match with a great deal of caution in the hopes of avoiding a loss to each other. Expect a low number of goals scored in the first half due to the high number of defensive attempts that will be made, and there is a chance that the score will be tied at the break. Our hope is that there will be goals scored by both teams during the encounter. The games between these two teams are always productive, and we do not anticipate more defensive play from either team in this aspect of the competition either.
