Liverpool Montevideo and San Lorenzo will battle for three points in a Copa Libertadores group-stage fixture on Tuesday.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw at home to Defensor Sporting in the Uruguayan Primera Division. They went behind to Anderson Duarte's 14th-minute strike but drew level through Renzo Machado four minutes into the second half.
San Lorenzo, meanwhile, also shared the spoils in a goalless draw away to Central Cordoba in the Argentine Copa de la Liga.
Los Cuervos will turn their focus to the continent, where their last game came in a 2-0 defeat away to Independiente del Valle a fortnight ago. Liverpool fell to a 3-1 defeat away to Palmeiras.
The respective losses left both sides joint-bottom of Group F with just one point from two games.

Liverpool vs San Lorenzo Prediction
Liverpool's games have tended to be open-ended, with both sides creating enough goalscoring chances. The Uruguayans have not had good fortune at home, having not won a game in front of their fans for over two months. Their overall domestic form has also been patchy.
San Lorenzo are coming into this game in poor form, losing three of their last five games. Nevertheless, the Buenos Aires outfit are still the pre-game favorites owing to their superior pedigree at this level.
Liverpool have drawn four of their last six home games (two losses), while San Lorenzo have also drawn four of their last six away games across competitions (two losses). This record highlights both sides' penchant for draws in recent months.
We are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
