Racing - Liverpool

Uruguay Primera Division, Apertura

Small bet on this match, as it is the only one that looks interesting today. This is the first round of the Uruguayan championship, but today we have little action. With the main contenders to the title (Nacional and Penarol) not scheduled to play, we have a clash between two mid-table teams, that still don't know where they are, and what to expect from this season. Liverpool went through a lot of changes in the pre-season, with regards to the playing squad and the technical staff. From what is expected in today's line-up, only 4 players have had an important role to play in the club last season, while the rest of the players are either last season's substitues, or new signings (and these new players are nothing spectacular at first sight). Meanwhile, Racing is going for continuity. They have kept most of their players from last season (when they did a pretty good campaign), and as a result, 8 players from today's expected line-up had a more or less important role in the last year. Therefore, I'm choosing Racing here, as the unity of the group should be a lot stronger than Liverpool's, and the team-play also should have better effects. GL!
