Hosts won't have it their way

Sitting in ninth place Liverpool (Montevideo) are gnawing at the heals of fifth place Defensor Sporting Club. The stakes are pretty high here with 4 points the difference.

Defensor Sporting Club can edge this clash but the price is a touch skinny to get excited about. Legitimate scoring opportunities will likely be rare in a well-fought contest.

After a few less than dominant displays, the hosts will be more motivated this time out. In recent home matches Liverpool (Montevideo)'s displays could be significant. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 5 games on their own turf. Those types of performances won't put food on the table. In defence, Liverpool (Montevideo)'s performances have shown some signs of confusion. They have conceded at least once in all of their last 12 matches. It remains to be seen if they can plug those gaps in time.

If the visitors hit their straps they should be the ones left smiling at full-time. Defensor Sporting Club have been victorious in 8 of their last 11 campaigns. They've scored two or more goals in all of their last 3 games and if they produce some form they'll be due goals here. Their recent defensive displays could be a key for them too.
