Head-to-Head
- Liverpool FC Montevideo have failed to win at this ground in recent head-to-head clashes.
- Cerro v Liverpool FC in the Liga AUF Uruguaya - Apertura 2026 has become an interesting fixture in recent times with both sides claiming one win each and one draw in their last 3 meetings.
Cerro
- Cerro have failed to score in their only home game so far this season and lost that match in the Apertura 2026.
- Cerro are on a 5-game run of 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss in all competitions after a 0-0 away draw at Albion FC and a 0-1 home defeat to Danubio in the Apertura 2026.
Liverpool FC Montevideo
- Liverpool FC Montevideo have won 1 and lost 1 of their last 2 away games.
- Liverpool FC Montevideo boss Camilo Speranza is a more positive, progressive manager than Nelson Abeijón, who has led Cerro towards a more pragmatic, defensive approach since he took charge in January 2026.
- Liverpool FC press high, play wide, play at high tempo and like to get their full-backs involved in the attack.
- Liverpool’s 2-1 away win at Albion FC and 1-2 home loss to Defensor Sporting have put them in mid-table in the opening fixtures of the Apertura 2026 and they will need to improve on that if they are to challenge for the top spots.
Key Players
- Diego Romero, their star player has scored 2 goals in 2 games this Apertura and provides an excellent focal point for the front three in the 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 shapes which Liverpool tend to employ.
- Juan Izquierdo can provide width and creativity in addition to Romero’s finishing abilities.
- Their captain Matías Cabrera is a set-piece specialist and aerial threat.
- Defender Agustín Chopitea is a key figure for Cerro as he is a defender who likes to play with the ball and organises the team’s compact block.
Betting Insights
- Liverpool FC Montevideo are favourites at 2.08, while Cerro are 3.75 outsiders.
- Under 2.5 goals is available at 1.48 and that’s the bet to take here.
Prediction
Liverpool FC Montevideo have the extra quality in the form of winger Juan Izquierdo who can provide width and creativity in addition to Romero’s finishing abilities and should have enough to edge a low-scoring game here, although Cerro’s defensive organisation should keep things tight.
