In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Boston River, by (1‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Deportivo Maldonado, by (4‑2).

Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 13 matches for the Primera División, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 13 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times but have turned the score around in 3.

Def. Sporting aims to leave the field with points, and knows that for that it will be important to score very carefully. The tendency is for the visiting team to play with caution, thus applying an intense mark and trying to find spaces to counterattack. The coach must go to the field with the best at his disposal.
