Liverpool will host Cerro Largo on Monday at Parque Alfredo Víctor Viera, looking to build on their recent victory against Boston River, which marked a much-needed turnaround after a series of inconsistent results. In their last three games, Liverpool has registered one win, one draw, and one loss, scoring two goals and conceding two. The team has struggled defensively at home, with a record of one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five home matches, yielding eight goals while only managing to score seven.
In contrast, Cerro Largo enters the match on the back of two consecutive wins, having triumphed 2-0 against Cerro and 3-0 against Boston River. However, their away form has been less impressive, with only one win in their last five away encounters, along with three losses and one draw. This away form has seen them score just three goals while conceding seven, indicating ongoing defensive vulnerabilities on the road.
Key absences could impact both teams significantly. Liverpool will be missing goalkeeper Martín Campaña due to a broken nose bone and Jean Rosso, who is sidelined with a cruciate ligament tear. Cerro Largo will also have to contend with the suspension of Nicolás Bertocchi, which could further strain their already struggling defense.
Liverpool's Federico Martínez has been a standout performer this season, netting three goals in seven home games, while Facundo Barceló has added two goals. For Cerro Largo, Tiziano Correa has contributed significantly in away matches, with two goals and two assists in nine games. With both teams exhibiting contrasting recent form, this fixture will highlight their respective strengths and weaknesses, potentially influencing the outcome as they aim to increase their points tally in the Primera Division.
