The hosts are seeking to put some of their latest displays behind them. Liverpool (Montevideo)'s performances at home haven't all been out of this world. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 7 game on their own soil and that doesn't feel like enough for this test. In defence Liverpool (Montevideo)'s performances have shown some cause for concern. They conceded at least once in 14 of their last 15 matches and if they have any selection issues they could be vulnerable again here.
