Match Prediction: Fénix vs Cerro
The "White-Purple" team holds the record for the most wins in the second division of Uruguayan football. Last season, they narrowly avoided relegation, finishing second to last in the standings. Their performances in the Apertura were lackluster, but they've gradually improved recently. They began October with a narrow home victory over Rampla Juniors and followed that up with a 2-1 win away against Liverpool Montevideo.
The "White-Blues," who attempted to establish themselves in the Copa Libertadores at the end of the last decade, have since settled into the mid-table of Uruguayan football. In 2023, they finished eleventh, failing to break into the top ten. This season started relatively well for them, but they suffered a series of defeats, including a heavy 0-5 loss to Peñarol at home. Their only recent point came from a draw with Rampla Juniors after an early goal.
