O'Higgins comes into Montevideo with a clear edge, having already put four past Boston River this season. The hosts are in proper trouble — just one win in five — and face a Chilean side that's proven clinical on the counter. 🔥

Boston River will need to tighten up defensively after leaking goals to Millonarios twice in their last stretch. O'Higgins, meanwhile, have shown they can grind out results (that 0-0 vs São Paulo) but also turn it up when needed. This one could be cagey.

Key storylines:

• O'Higgins' away pedigree: They've already beaten Boston River 2-0 at home and show the composure to handle hostile environments
• Boston River's desperation: One win in five means this is a must-win frame; expect them to press early but tire
• Defensive solidity: Both sides have shown they can keep things compact, which should keep the goal tally down

Expected lineups:

• Boston River: B. Antúnez, I. Fernandez, M. González, M. Rivero, J. O'Neil, Y. González, F. Barrios, F. Dafonte, A. Amado, F. Bonfiglio, A. González
• O'Higgins: O. Carabalí, L. Pavez Munoz, M. Brizuela, N. Garrido, F. Faúndez, J. Leiva, F. Ogaz, M. Sarrafiore, B. Rabello, F. González, A. Castillo

Best picks:

• Total Goals 3.5: Under 3.5 goals

Prediction:

O'Higgins 1–0 Boston River — visitors lean into their defensive shape and catch the hosts on the break. 🎯
