Racing Club de Montevideo
- Racing Club de Montevideo have won 4 of their last 5 games (D1, L0) and are currently top of the Liga AUF Uruguaya - Apertura 2026 table on 13pts from 6 matches.
- Racing have won their last two games in the league, a hard-fought 1-0 win at home to Club Atletico Cerro and a 1-0 away win against Boston River, and they’ve been solid defensively in both matches.
- Cristian Chambián’s side are a hard side to break down due to their compact 4-2-3-1/4-4-2 shape and they can really punish their opponents on the counter with their pressing.
Liverpool FC Montevideo
- Camilo Speranza has maintained his side’s positional style and possession based approach since taking over in January 2026, but his tweaks to the system have made the side more adaptable during transitions.
- Liverpool are a fluid team, often overloading the flanks and looking to establish positional superiority on the field.
- They’re a tough side to play against due to the different shapes they can adopt, be it a 4-1-4-1 or hybrid 4-4-1-1.
Head-to-Head
This should be a close match with Racing boasting a good recent record ( W4, D1 ), but failing to win their last 2 home games against them suggests that they’ll need to overcome a mental block on Saturday.
Key Players
However, Renzo Machado has been their most dangerous player in the last 5 games, with 2 of Liverpool's last 4 goals .
Prediction
Back the hosts to win, but with both sides in unbeaten runs, we think both teams will get on the scoresheet in an open, competitive clash.
