Defensor Sporting vs Liverpool FC Prediction: Both Teams Coming off a Defeat in their Last Outing

In the upcoming fixture of the Uruguayan Primera Division, Matchday 6, Defensor Sporting will take on Liverpool FC at the Luis Franzini Stadium in Montevideo. Going in the matchup, Defensor Sporting stands 7th with 2 wins and 8 points, whereas Liverpool FC stands 12th with just a win and 5 points. Defensor and Liverpool last played in August 2022 and Defensor won the match quite convincingly (1-3). If Defensor manages to win and secure three points, it will surely enter the top five standings. 

Going in the matchup, Defensor Sporting is coming off a hard-fought defeat against Danubio on penalties (3-4). With the likes of Elizari, Freitas, and Pintado in the lineup, Defensor Sporting is likely to play with an effective strategy at home. Defensor defeated Montevideo away from home, in which Andres Ferrari, Matias Abaldo, and Adrian Balboa scored goals. With 7 goals scored in the last 5 league matches, Defensor averages 1.4 goals per game. Talking about the head-to-head stats, Defensor has scored 50 goals against Liverpool at an average of 1.52 goals per game. According to the sources, Leandro Barcia, Facundo Bernal, and Hernan Figueredo will be missing out tomorrow’s match due to injuries. 

Going in the matchup, Liverpool is coming off a defeat against La Luz (2-3), in which Gaston Martirerna and Gonzalo Napoli scored goals. However, Liverpool couldn’t maintain the lead as Gonzalo Perez’s own goal gave the opposition a certain advantage. Liverpool FC has scored 7 goals in the last 5 outings, averaging 1.4 goals per game. If Liverpool could manage an early strike, Defensor might have to get itself aligned with the defensive approach. Liverpool’s scoring average in head-to-head competitions is 1.73 goals per game, which is quite decent and has been consistent over the years. For tomorrow’s matchup, Ruben Bentacourt and Agustin Cayetano will not be in the starting lineup due to injury reasons.

Going in the matchup, Defensor and Liverpool, both are averaging around 1.4 goals in the last 5 matches played. However, if we look at the previous head-to-head matchups, Liverpool and Defensor have won two matches each from the last 5 played. Therefore, I believe that the upcoming fixture will end in a draw (1-1) with both sides managing to score.
