Montevideo City Torque enter this fixture sitting top of Group F with nine points, knowing a victory will secure their progression. Securing three points here is critical to hold off Grêmio before the two sides meet in the final matchday.

The Uruguayan outfit has built their successful group campaign on defensive stability. They have recorded three clean sheets in four matches, with their only conceded goals coming during a brief lapse in their previous meeting against this exact opponent.

Deportivo Riestra arrive with severe offensive limitations, averaging just 34 percent possession in the tournament. The Argentine side has generated a mere five shots on target across four group games, highlighting a structural inability to sustain attacking pressure.

Road conditions have only amplified Riestra's attacking struggles. They have failed to find the back of the net in both of their Sudamericana away trips, managing just one point from those fixtures while absorbing heavy pressure.

Although Riestra stole a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture, Torque's home advantage and overall consistency make them clear favorites. The hosts possess the patience and quality to dictate the tempo and break down a limited visiting side.
