With both sides tallying four points to their name from the opening five group matches, Independiente del Valle holds the Copa Sudamericana spot in their grasp thanks to a superior goal difference, meaning the Uruguayan visitors must apply pressure from the first whistle if they are to continue their continental campaign.

Liverpool from Montevideo's early aggressive offensive approach could set the stage for a lively and thrill-packed contest where both sides should be capable of making the nets ripple, as the Ecuadorian outfit looks to pounce on counterattacks to threaten their opponents.

While they carry the tag of favorites in this matchup, IDV's recent showings in the Copa Libertadores do not paint an optimistic picture, as each of their previous three continental outings ended on the wrong side, conceding at least twice during those disappointments, but they will be confident in their ability to light up the scoreboard.

We say this because they'll be facing the Liverpool Montevideo side, who have clearly lost their defensive edge lately, considering they are the only ones in the section with double-digit concessions - letting in 12 in the opening five matches -, and their record at the back further worsened with back-to-back losses to Palmeiras and San Lorenzo where they shipped a concerning eight in total.

To make matters even more problematic, the Negriazules' defensive woes haven't just been limited to the continental stage, but have also plagued them domestically, with their inability to carve out more victories being a major contributor to only having two wins to show for in their last seven matches across all competitions, ending up on the losing side in four of those contests.

Indeed, each of Liverpool's previous four road trips has seen them conceding at least two goals, but thanks to their impressiveness in front of goal, many of their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with only two of their past 21 competitive outings failing to see goals at both ends. As both sides contemplate their chances of emerging on top, we anticipate an entertaining contest that should favor Independiente del Valle, albeit without a clean sheet.
