Defensor Sporting vs Liverpool MontevideoPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Round two of the Uruguayan Clausura sends both teams to the Estadio Luis Franzini with a single ninety minutes behind them. Defensor Sporting lost their opener 1-0 at home and have yet to score, so they are still on zero points. Liverpool Montevideo won their own opening match 1-0, also in front of their supporters, and sit on three points. Those two opening fixtures produced two goals in total, a figure worth setting against the wider rhythm of the competition, in which 2.40 goals a game is the Uruguayan average. After a single round the table means very little, and the only real evidence is how each side handled a match decided by one goal. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
