Montevideo City Torque 🇺🇾

Grêmio’s opponent is part of the City Group and is treating the Sudamericana as a priority.

They are currently sixth in the Uruguayan league.  They have four wins, three draws, and three defeats. 

They had to eliminate Defensor in the preliminary round to reach the group stage.

The main weapon of Marcelo Méndez’s team is center forward Salomón Rodríguez.

He already has six goals in nine matches this season.

The draw against Remo and the fact that a Gre-Nal is coming up led coach Luis Castro to rest some starters.

Some did not even travel. That is the case for Viery, Gustavo Martins, Pavon, and Carlos Vinícius.

Marcos Rocha and Braithwaite are being given valuable opportunities.
