Big match for Defensor Sporting, as they are defending the lead in both the Clausura and the Anual
table, with the end of the season rapidly aproaching. And even though
on paper they have an easy schedule, things are not that easy. A match
against Bella Vista always looks easy at first sight, since they are
rock bottom in the Clausura, with a 20 point difference between
themselves and Defensor Sporting. They also have a bad run of 5
consecutive defeats, and they are seriously being haunted by relegation,
as they are 3 points down the relegation area. So if they want to have
any chances of survival, they have to dig deep. And they have a bit of
luck for this game, as Defensor will be missing a couple of key players.
Giorgian De Arrascaeta (11/2) is one of their best players, and he will
be unavailable after being injured with the U20 national team. He will
join midfielder Nicolas Olivera (8/3) on the
injury list, as well as midfielder Diego Laxalt (5/1) and Leonardo Pais
(3/0), both of them starting the game on the bench. That means that
Defensor will be missing two key players, and since they don't have a
very deep squad, this could pose some problems. They are also less than
impressive when playing away from home, so this line just seems a bit
out of place. GL!
