CA Cerro achieved a performance consisting of one draw, two defeats, and two victories. The team experienced losses in their encounters with Wanderers and Montevideo City in their latest fixture, while they achieved a draw in a match against Defensor Sporting.

Nevertheless, they emerged triumphant in their encounters with La Luz and Ferro Carril. In the course of these interactions, they have achieved a total of four goals while also conceding four goals. Over the span of their most recent five matches, they have accumulated a total of seven points, resulting in their current position of 14th place in the league standings with a total of 10 points. With the upcoming match, the team aspires to achieve a victory on their home ground, aiming to break their ongoing record of two consecutive winless matches.

Liverpool Montevideo's previously undefeated run of four matches was halted by Racing Montevideo, resulting in a 2-3 defeat. This outcome occurred within the context of their most recent five meetings. Nevertheless, before the commencement of the game, they achieved a draw in their encounter with Plaza Colonia. Conversely, they emerged triumphant in three successive meetings against Cerro Largo, Atenas, and Penarol. 

During these interactions, they have achieved a total of nine goals while also conceding five. In anticipation of this upcoming match, the team aspires to achieve a victory, aiming to regain their winning momentum.

In three out of their previous five meetings, both teams managed to score against each other, with one match resulting in more than two goals being scored. Nevertheless, both teams achieved a draw in two matches. CA Cerro emerged victorious in a single match, but Liverpool Montevideo secured victory in two matches.

It may be postulated that both teams would use a cautious approach in this meeting, aiming to minimise the risk of losing. Anticipated is the dominance of defensive strategies in the initial stages, resulting in a first half characterised by limited goal-scoring opportunities and potentially resulting in a deadlock.

However, it is anticipated that both clubs will demonstrate the capacity to score in this match as a result of their proficiency in effectively using set pieces and executing counterattacks. Although scoring opportunities may be limited as a result of the strong defensive formations, instances of exceptional skill or defensive errors could result in both teams scoring one goal each.
