Rentistas is ranked 4th in the Group E standings (three points after five rounds). The club from Montevideo has three draws and two losses. The debutants of the Copa Libertadores have already lost their chances of reaching the 1/8 finals of the tournament by the last round. However, the Uruguayans can still take 3rd place and get into the Copa Sudamericana if they beat Racing away. But they should also wait for the defeat of the Peruvian Sporting Cristal, which is one point ahead. On May 22, Rentistas achieved their first victory this season, beating Boston Rivers 1-2 in the second round of Apertura. Enzo Sosa and Emiliano Villar scored for the winners, and Ruben Bentancourt scored for Boston Rivers. From the 70th minute, the visitors played in the minority due to the red card of Martin Gonzalez.
Racing Club has already progressed from the group, but the Argentines are unlikely to lose to the group's outsider on their pitch. Rentistas is experiencing significant problems in away meetings. In the Copa Libertadores, the Uruguayans have already lost to Sao Paulo (2-0) and Sporting (2-0). Before the match against Boston, the club from Montevideo had not gained an away victory since December 2020. Racing's advantage lies in defense. Apart from five clean sheets in all tournaments, the Academy has conceded only two goals in the group stage. Beyond that, Racing is now showing low-scoring results. In six previous matches with the participation of the Argentines, the sides have never scored more than two goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
