They both shoot – yes
They both shoot – yes
Liverpool Montevideo
The team is in 8th place in its championships with a fairly large advantage over the leader. And no, I’m not talking about Liverpool, which is from the home of the Beatles, but about Uruguay, which is starting in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. It seems that they have more in common than just the name. I don’t know how accurate it is to refer to the Uruguayan Championship figures for the next tournament, but Montevideo’s Liverpool are not doing very well there: the results are extremely volatile.
Corinthians
The Brazilian Championship has not started yet. For now, the Corinthians will have to play a rematch of the Rio de Janeiro State Championship. First, I must say, the Corinthians lost. Last year, the Brazilian team reached the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores, finishing 2nd in the group. This time the quartet looks simpler, so the task of advancing to the playoffs can be solved without any problems.
Forecast
However, in the 1st round, it is not very clear how things may turn out. Corinthians suffered their only defeat in the group stage last year in the 1st round. I think the Brazilian club can win this time, but the Uruguay team will also give them a hard time and won’t let them get three points so easily.
