Penarol vs Maldonado Prediction & Betting Tips (6 July)

Maldonado have found the going extremely tough on their top-flight travels of late, with the strugglers suffering ten consecutive defeats as part of a run that has seen them secure just one point from a possible 36. Penarol, by way of contrast, have won ten and drawn four of their previous 13 home games at the top table of the Primera Division, so this looks to be a mismatch.

Over the course of their last 19 away matches in the second tier of the Primera Division, high-flying Maldonado have been involved in no fewer than 16 encounters in which under 3.5 goals have been served up. The figures are identical for Penarol across their previous 19 home games in the Primera Division, so it would come as a surprise to see anything different in this clash.

Maldonado are rarely involved in away games in which both teams find the net, with this being the case in just one of their previous seven trips in the Primera Division. It has been a similar story as far as high-flying Penarol are concerned on their own patch of late, as one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from ten of their last 13 encounters.
