REF’s picks

Montevideo City Torque sit at the top of the table and hold the quality advantage here despite recent struggles, making them a solid pick to bounce back against a struggling Albion FC side. Albion have shown some fight lately with wins over lower-tier opponents, but their overall defensive frailties leave them vulnerable to the league leaders.

1. 1Torque lead the standings with impressive consistency over the campaign despite a recent heavy continental defeat against Atlético-MG.
2. 2Albion's recent victories came against sides near the very bottom of the table, masking deeper vulnerabilities shown in losses to stronger teams.
3. 3Torque suffered a 3-0 midweek loss in the Sudamericana which could either spark a strong reaction or bring lingering fatigue and low morale.
