Liverpool to move closer to leaders with win over Montevideo Wanderers
4738

On Tuesday night, two teams from the Uruguayan capital Montevideo meet at the Estadio Belvedere, as Liverpool host Montevideo Wanderers.

Liverpool have enjoyed a promising campaign so far in the Primera Division, as they have taken 16 points from their opening eight league outings.

A victory in this clash would move them to within a point of leaders Nacional.

Last time out the home side drew 1-1 against Boston River. The draw means that they have now won just one of their last three league matches.

They will feel that they have to get back to winning ways in this clash to ensure their title challenge is not derailed.

One player who has shone for Liverpool of late is forward Juan Ignacio Ramirez, who has scored five goals in his last four league appearances.

Talking about good records, Jorge Bava’s team have a strong one on home soil, as they are unbeaten in nine league matches at the Belvedere, including winning their previous five league games on home soil.

Liverpool have also been highly prolific on home soil in the Primera Division, scoring at last two goals in 12 of their last 13 home games.

Montevideo Wanderers’ form has been indifferent so far this season. A 1-0 home win over Cerrito last time out means that the visitors have won just two of their last five matches in the Primera Division.

One major positive for Wanderers in recent months has been their defensive displays, as they have now kept clean sheets in six of their last eight matches in the Uruguayan top-flight.

The visitors have found away wins difficult to come by of late, though, as Wanderers have won just one of their last seven league matches on their travels.

Forebet predicts that Liverpool will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to not only claim local bragging rights but also aid their chances of catching top team Nacional.
