Liverpool FC vs Defensor Sporting Prediction: An Exciting Fixture to Witness

Liverpool FC will take on Defensor Sporting in their first fixture of the Uruguayan Primera Division this year. With both teams eagerly waiting for the start of the competition, it will be a battle of the nerves and the test of who is the best. Both teams possess decent goal-scoring averages, forward play, and overall team form; however, the winner can only be decided after a battling encounter. When the last time these two sides played was in February 2022, Liverpool FC won 0-3.

Going in the game, Liverpool FC will be hoping to overcompensate for their defeat against Nacional (0-1) in the intermediate round fixture. Liverpool FC managed to win against Deportivo Maldonado (3-1) in the game before, in which Alan Medina, Gaston Martirena, and Nahuel Soria were simply sensational. With three wins and a draw from their last five games played, Liverpool FC is demonstrating great game form. Moreover, they have struck 8 goals in their last 5 matches, averaging over 1.4 goals per game.

Defensor Sporting will be all geared up for the contest against Liverpool FC. Though Defensor Sporting is coming off a defeat against Plaza Colonia (1-2), we expect them to come hard at the hosts, Liverpool FC. In the past three years, Defensor Sporting hasn’t been able to defeat Liverpool FC, which is an important stat to notice; hence Defensor Sporting will look to come out all guns blazing and register a win. Adrian Balboa, Agustin Sant’Anna, and Andres Ferrari will be in the spotlight to steer Defensor to a stable position.
