Season ticket holders at Estadio Osvaldo Roberto haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Racing languishing in the 12th position so far. The guesting Liverpool will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Primera Division.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Racing form and stats
2-2-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera Division numbers at home for Racing, who have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Primera Division, so far this season.
Racing drew their last game, 0-0 away at Juventud (placed 15th). Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Rampla Juniors.
There will be little rest for Racing after this match as they are travelling to Wanderers for a Primera Division game in only three days.
Goals are plentiful at Estadio Osvaldo Roberto in the league this season as Racing has scored 11 goals here in 4 attempts. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 6 goals have been conceded.
Liverpool form and stats
0 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Liverpool playing as the away team in the Primera Division this season. It's three draws from Liverpool's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better. With three draws in a row for Liverpool the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.
Liverpool delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Wanderers (placed 11th) in their previous match; a Primera Division game. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Cerro Largo that ended 1-1.
It looked so good for Liverpool vs Wanderers, but the job was not completed and two points were lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Boston River in just three days.
The attacking power of Liverpool when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. 7 goals have been conceded by Liverpool in these games.
