Liverpool Montevideo are the likely winners, but the value is not in the outright win.

The best edges are the first-half draw at 2.05 (model 55% vs implied 49%) and BTTS No at 1.78 (model 60% vs implied 56%). Expect a low-scoring, tight first half given the H2H clean-sheet streak and Liverpool's defensive form.
