Torque form and stats

Overall Primera Division stats at home this season for Torque are 3-0-4 (wins-draw-losses).

Torque's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Cerrito (placed 8th).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Nacional in a game that was won 3-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Torque have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost three.

The Torque fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. On the other hand, Torque have conceded 8 goals.

Liverpool form and stats

The visitors, who have the most scored goals (30) in Primera Division, are W2-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Primera Division.

Liverpool delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Peñarol (placed 5th) in their previous match; a Primera Division game. Drawing 3-3 against Peñarol after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-0. Their manager J. Bava needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Liverpool, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? The draw against Peñarol came from a losing position. The Liverpool manager J. Bava brought on Alan Medina as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.

A 1-2 defeat away at Rentistas before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Liverpool playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were four Liverpool wins, three draws and five defeats.

Liverpool have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 12 goals from 6 away matches. As for defending, Liverpool rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 11 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: one - two - four (Torque wins - draws - Liverpool wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.
