Liverpool and Juventud have met several times recently, and the results have usually been close: a 1-1 draw at Juventud in April this year, and Juventud coming away with a win at Liverpool's ground last November. This time Liverpool have risen to the top of the table with 27 points from 12 matches, while Juventud sit 7th, a fair distance behind. So the situation is not the same. Liverpool have won three in a row and are unbeaten in 5. The defence has been so tight that opponents have managed just one goal in the last three matches. Juventud are not off form either, winning their last two by 2-0 both times, but their season-long record says they have drawn as many as 6 of 12 matches - a team that closes games down and makes it hard for opponents to beat them. This game is likely to see Liverpool dominate the ball and push forward more, while Juventud defend in an organised block and wait to counter. If Liverpool score first, the game should open up and flow the home side's way, but if Juventud hold out until late, the pressure swings back to Liverpool, who will have to find a way through before time runs out.
