- Head-to-head: Liverpool FC Montevideo have won three of their last five games against Cerro Largo, winning 2-0 in this fixture in Liga AUF Uruguaya – Apertura 2026 three months ago.

Sides set to clash
Standings
Liverpool FC Montevideo are ninth in the Liga AUF Uruguaya – Apertura 2026 table on 20 points from 15 matches, while Cerro Largo are three places and three points behind in 12th.
Tactical approaches
Liverpool manager Jorge Fossati is a flexible tactician who prefers his team to keep the ball and play with a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system that allows them to overload areas of the field and control the tempo of the game. Cerro Largo's coach Ignacio Ordonez has set his team up to be a pragmatic outfit since his appointment in May 2026. They play with a low-block and are a much more defensive team who look to get forward quickly when the ball is won.
Recent form
Liverpool have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five league games and have beaten Cerro Largo three times in those recent five clashes. However, their most recent home outings against Cerro Largo have seen Liverpool come out on top, suggesting they have found an answer to Ordonez's tactics. Cerro Largo arrive for this Monday's clash in good form, having won their last match on the road, while their previous five league outings have seen them pick up three wins and two defeats (Won 3, Lost 2).
Back the home side to edge a low-scoring match
Liverpool FC Montevideo will get opportunities to win this game, despite Ordonez's defensive setup, and the home crowd should be cheering the hosts on to a victory.
Fossati's men have won one and drawn one of their two most recent matches at the Estadio Belvedere, while Cerro Largo have failed to win in their last three away visits to Liverpool FC Montevideo, so the odds on Liverpool to do the business this Monday look favorable enough at around 1.89.
Liverpool has dominated the recent head-to-head, winning three of the last five meetings, and although Liverpool will be the dominant side in possession for long periods of this one, it would be a surprise if the game wasn't a similar story.
- Both Teams to Score – No at 1.75 looks a solid bet in this contest, while Total Score Under 2.5 at 1.64 is also supported.
- Federico Martinez has been Liverpool's main offensive threat this season, scoring six goals in 14 league appearances.
- Axel Pandiani leads the line for Cerro Largo with four goals in 12 AUF fixtures, and will provide a consistent outlet for the visiting team to build from.
