We’re all set for Matchday 13 of Uruguay’s Primera División, where Montevideo City Torque will take on Defensor Sporting on April 27 at 13:45 GMT at Parque Federico Omar Saroldi Stadium. Let’s take a look at the stats and find the best betting option!

How Both Teams Arrive

Montevideo City sit in 9th place with 2 wins and 3 draws in their last 5 games. They’re not a high-scoring side, with just 13 goals in 12 matches, only two fewer than Defensor Sporting. These numbers show that, even though they’re lower on the table, the gap in attacking output between them and their opponent is smaller than it seems. However, the home side haven’t won any of their last 3 matches at home, and they need a win here if they want to climb out of the lower end of the table.

On the other side, Defensor Sporting are currently 4th, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 5 games. Defensively, they’ve been solid, holding the second-best defensive record in the league behind first-place Liverpool. That could work in their favor in a match that means a lot, as they’re just 3 points behind the second-placed team and need this win.

Our Prediction

Bookmakers are offering odds of @2.83 for a home win, which doesn’t seem like much of an opportunity. Defensor Sporting are priced at @2.43 to win, and given they have more motivation, backing them makes sense. A draw is at @3.14, but we see that as a risk not worth taking. Other options include Defensor Sporting -0.25 AH at @2.07 and over @2.5 goals at 2.06, both offering moderate returns at lower risk.

However, after analyzing the matchup, we’re backing a Defensor Sporting win. With our pick in mind, it’s time to open a Betspider account!
