CORINTHIANS RELIES ON EXCELLENT RECORD AGAINST RACING AND URUGUAY, HOME TEAM BANKS ON BUENO

Image
  May 15, 2025 Racing Club - SC Corinthians Estadio Osvaldo Roberto, Montevideo, Uruguay On Thursday, May 15, 2025, Uruguayan Racing will face Brazilian Corinthians in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with different playing styles promises an interesting confrontation and the possibility of extending several remarkable streaks. Corinthians has won four of the five matches it has played against Racing in CONMEBOL competitions (1 draw), although in their last visit to the Uruguayan team in the Sudamericana they failed to secure a victory (1-1 in the group stage in 2024). The Brazilian side thus has an excellent record against their Thursday opponent. Corinthians has lost only one of the 12 matches it has played when visiting Uruguayan opponents in CONMEBOL competitions (6 wins, 5 draws), though the only defeat was in this decade and in the Sudamericana (0-4 against Peñarol in 2021). The "Timão" thus has excellent results on Uruguayan soil. Corinthians is th...

CERRO LARGO RELIES ON HEADERS AGAINST BRAZILIAN DOMINANCE, VITÓRIA EXTENDS AWAY REVIVAL

Image
  May 14, 2025 Cerro Largo FC -  EC Vitória Estadio Ubilla, Melo, Uruguay On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Uruguayan Cerro Largo will face Brazilian EC Vitória in the Copa Sudamericana. The match promises an interesting confrontation between teams with different playing styles and historical trends. Vitória has lost one of their last four away matches in CONMEBOL tournaments (1 win, 2 draws), after having fallen in six of the seven previous encounters they played away from home in these competitions. The Brazilian team has thus shown a significant improvement in their away form. Brazilian teams maintain an unbeaten streak of six consecutive matches without losing when visiting Uruguayan opponents in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, having won five of those encounters. The last home victory in this history dates back to May 2021, when Peñarol defeated Corinthians 4-0 in the group stage. Vitória can thus continue this impressive series of their compatriots. Cerro Largo is one of two...

GENERATIONAL CLASH IN THE ANDES: EXPERIENCED NACIONAL POTOSÍ HOSTS YOUNG BOSTON RIVER

Image
  May 13, 2025   Nacional Potosí - Boston River   Estadio Víctor Agustín Ugarte, Potosí, Bolivia On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, Bolivian Nacional Potosí will face Uruguayan Boston River in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with distinctly different age structures promises an interesting confrontation in the Bolivian highlands. Nacional Potosí is enjoying its best unbeaten streak playing at home in CONMEBOL tournaments, having won three of their last four home matches in the Sudamericana (1 draw). The matchup with Boston River will be the first in which they host a Uruguayan team in continental competitions, adding an element of exclusivity to the encounter. After scoring two goals against Paraguayan Guaraní in the recent 2-2 draw in the 2025 Sudamericana, Nacional Potosí will look to score in three consecutive matches of the same CONMEBOL tournament for the first time in their history. Boston River has the youngest average starting lineup in the 2025 CONMEBOL...

EXPLOSIVE HURACÁN SEEKS BREAKTHROUGH DOUBLE AGAINST URUGUAYAN RACING

  May 8, 2025   Racing - Huracán   Estadio Parque Osvaldo Roberto, Montevideo, Uruguay On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Uruguayan Racing will face Argentine Huracán in a return match of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage. Both teams enter the encounter with different ambitions and interesting statistical data that suggest a potentially exciting showdown. Huracán thrashed Racing 5-0 when the teams met in the current edition of the Sudamericana on Argentine soil. If "Globo," as the Argentine side is nicknamed, manages to win again, they will achieve consecutive victories against Uruguayan opponents in CONMEBOL tournaments for the first time in their history. Racing has minimal experience hosting Argentine clubs in CONMEBOL competitions. Their only such match was played last year when they defeated Argentinos Juniors 2-1 in the group stage of the Sudamericana. The home advantage could therefore be a key factor for the Uruguayan team in the upcoming clash. Huracán's offensiv...
