The difference-makers

Juventud. Agustin Nicolas Alaniz Sani and Fernando Mimbacas carry the scoring burden with three goals each, leaving the hosts heavily dependent on their production to offset lower shot volume against a defensively sound opponent.

Peñarol. While Peñarol relies heavily on Matías Arezo to sustain its attacking output, the visitors must break down a defensive setup that allows under a goal per match in recent outings.
