Liverpool will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 7 points behind Nacional.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Copa Libertadores. That game, against Estudiantes Merida, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Nacional.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
