The winner of DEP.restra in 1/8th finals of the Copa Argentina this August 3 will not have the easy part in Uruguay.

Despite Racing’s impressive form, Peñarol’s home advantage and defensive solidity could tilt the balance. The Uruguayan side has conceded just three goals in their last six Libertadores matches, and their tactical discipline under Aguirre has frustrated more flamboyant opponents. Racing may dominate possession, but Peñarol’s counter-attacking threat—especially through Fernández’s vision and Arezo’s finishing—could prove decisive. Expect a tightly contested match with moments of brilliance from both sides.

Our prediction leans toward a 2–1 victory for Peñarol. The hosts are likely to strike early, absorb pressure, and capitalize on Racing’s defensive lapses late in the game. While Racing will find the net—perhaps through a set piece or a moment of individual skill—Peñarol’s grit and home crowd energy should carry them through. This scoreline reflects the balance of quality and context, setting up a tantalizing second leg in Argentina.
