In the second round, they tied in an away match against Montevideo City Torque, by (2‑2).

They come to this match after a home draw against Guaraní by (0‑0). Juventud has won 1, tied 4 and lost 5 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 14 of the last 21 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first.

In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Juventud is not having the best start to the Uruguayan Championship and is still looking for its first win in the competition. It is true that the team is dividing its attention with the preliminary phase of the Libertadores, which may impact its performance, but it needs to find balance so as not to complicate things on the national stage. Playing at home, the expectation is for a more aggressive stance, with greater control of offensive actions. However, it will be essential to be more efficient than in previous rounds. The team needs to transform the volume of play into concrete results to gain confidence. Against an opponent in good form, any lapse in concentration could prove costly.

Confirmed Lineup: Nicolás Ruotola, Martín Cáceres, Renzo Rabino, Franco Risso, Ignacio Mujica, Ramiro Peralta, Gonzalo Gómez, Emanuel Cecchini, Alejo Cruz, Marcelo Pérez, Martín Boselli.
