Cerro Largo: form and statistics

Cerro Largo were second in the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana, so now they have to get past their rivals from Argentina if they want to continue fighting for the trophy. Cerro Largo midfielder Leandro Otormin warns about the strength of their opponents. "If you look at the fact that Central Cordoba beat Flamengo at the Maracana and collected 11 points, everything is clear. They are only the second team in history to be eliminated with so many points on goal difference. All this shows how difficult the game will be. However, on the field, everything is always equal. When the players give their all, the strength of the opponent becomes irrelevant. Cerro Largo are the only team from Uruguay left in this competition, which makes the responsibility greater. The Uruguayans played their last match last week against the same opponent in Argentina. They have not won since May 29 and the Copa Sudamericana match when they were better than Defense and Justicia (2:1).
