Argentinos Juniors v Liverpool FC

Argentinos Jrs vs Liverpool Montevideo Preview

In South America, the Copa Libertadores competition is in full swing with the group stage well underway and beginning to take shape in terms of possible qualifiers for the knockout rounds along with which teams are likely to drop down into the Copa Sudamericana; Wednesday night features this upcoming clash between Argentinian hosts, Argentinos Jrs and Uruguayan visitors, Liverpool Montevideo.

Argentinos Jrs are enjoying a solid start to their Copa Libertadores campaign as the hosts sit top of Group E with two points separating them from second-placed Independiente, prior to Matchday 5 of the group stage of this season's competition.

Argentinos Jrs still remain unbeaten after their opening four games of the group stage as they have recorded wins against Independiente and Corinthians, along with picking up points in draws with Liverpool M 2-2 and a 0-0 draw at home with Corinthians.

The hosts are expected to make light work of their bottom of the group visitors Liverpool when they host them at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona and Wednesday night's clash could bear witness to a few goals too.

Liverpool Montevideo find themselves sitting bottom of Group E but only on goal difference below the third-placed side, Corinthians, with both teams sitting on four points apiece after Liverpool recorded a welcome 1-0 home win against Independiente in their previous group game.

However, the Uruguayan visitors had made a disastrous start to the group stages as they were dealt defeats by Corinthians 3-0 at home which was followed by a 2-0 loss on the road at Independiente, while a 2-2 draw with Wednesday's hosts, Argentinos Jrs, saw them off the mark.

Liverpool M possess a relatively low level of experience on the Copa Libertadores stage though as the visitors have managed just two wins from their eight ties played at this level, both of which were attained on home soil at their Estadio Belvedere, while results away from home have been poor to date, losing each of their previous three away games, two of which resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Argentinos Jrs v Liverpool Montevideo Verdict

Five of Argentinos Jrs' last nine games on home soil have resulted in Over 2.5 goals and Liverpool Montevideo's limited experience at this level could produce further goals (at their expense), while the previous meeting between these two sides ended in an entertaining 2-2 draw.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.58

Other side bets worth considering:

Argentinos Jrs win & Over 2.5 goals @ 1.83

Correct score: Argentinos Jrs 3-1 @ 11.00
