There is little to choose between Defensor Sporting and Boston River on paper, and the Primera División encounter should reflect that balance. Consistency has eluded Defensor Sporting in recent weeks, with LLLWL in their last five and a win rate of 33.33% that tells of an up-and-down campaign. Boston River have struggled to string results together away from home, LLWLL over their last five with a win rate of 33.33%.
