Prediction Defensor Sporting vs Montevideo City Torque 2025 – Betting Tips for the Primera Division on 24/10/2025

Match preview

Saturday night at Estadio Luis Franzini promises a spicy clash as Defensor Sporting host Montevideo City Torque in Round 13 of the Clausura. The Montevideo venue will be lively; the home side sit a fraction ahead in the table in fourth with 22 points while Torque are breathing down their necks in sixth with 21. The calendar reads 24/10/2025 and both teams arrive with momentum swings that make this one tantalizing for neutrals and punters alike.

Tactical match-up and recent form

Defensor Sporting bring a compact home record and a mixture of results in recent weeks — wins sprinkled with a few sobering defeats. Their latest victory away at Atlético Progreso (3-2) underlined an ability to grind out results, and Diego Abreu’s man-of-the-match rating in that fixture is one of the clear takeaways from their most recent outing. Defensor’s home statistics show they score well on familiar turf and have recorded 27 goals at home while conceding 14 there, a sign that Luis Franzini can be productive for them.

Montevideo City Torque arrive with an attacking profile: they’ve accumulated more total shots and more shots on target over the campaign, and their away scoring numbers are eye-catching with 22 goals recorded away from home. Their form line is streaky but dangerous — after a heavy disappointment to Cerro last time out, Torque have registered several wins in their recent sequence, showing resilience. J. Neris was the standout for Torque in that loss, but the team’s attacking averages and higher proportion of over-2.5 games this season hint at goal-laden encounters when they’re on the ball.

Prediction and betting tips

This fixture is finely poised. Bookmakers reflect that with narrow match-winner odds: Defensor Sporting quoted around 2.55, a draw at 3.10 and Montevideo City Torque at 2.65 — essentially a three-way tussle where small margins will decide the outcome. Head-to-head earlier in the year saw Defensor edge Torque 1-0, a reminder that tight results have been the norm between these sides.

Given the attacking metrics on display — Torque’s superior shot volume and higher tendency for games to clear the over 2.5 threshold combined with Defensor’s respectable home scoring and a decent BTTS rate — this looks like a match where both sides can find the net. While a narrow home win is plausible, the safer, value-driven angle is to expect goals at both ends rather than banking on a single-outcome 1X2 pick.

Betting suggestion: Back Both Teams to Score — Yes. The numbers on shots, dangerous attacks and both teams’ recent scoring patterns point to a lively, open encounter with goals at each end.
