Everything about this match seems to be very similar to yesterday's Nacional - Rampla Juniors. The home team is one of the Uruguayan giants, but just like Nacional, they have other things on their mind. Penarol put the Clausura last on their priority list, as they made the final of Copa Libertadores, and all their energies and focus went in that direction. For quite some rounds now, they have fielded alternative teams, with few or none of the regulars. Today will be no exception, as all of their regulars who played in Brazil earlier this week, will be watching the match from the stands. The only difference between today's line-up and the previous ones will be tht today there will be even more youth players, as the coach decided to test them for future seasons. So, a weakened Penarol side, even more than usual. And just like yesterday's match, the visitors do have something to play for. They need at least one point to be sure of remainng in the Primera Division, otherwise they could be forced to play a decider gainst Central Espanol, should they win aganst Danubio. But since a point is very much within their reach, as Penarol's youngsters should pose too much of a problem, I'm quite sure Racing will go out looking for some points, rather than waiting to see how Central is doing. GL!
Racing (+0.5 AH) @ 1.73, 3/10
