How River Plate arrives for the match

River Plate is also looking to preserve its unbeaten record. The team led by Marcelo Gallardo has three wins and five draws. In the round of 16, they eliminated Libertad-PAR on penalties after drawing both legs.

However, River’s coach will not be able to count on midfielder Giuliano Galoppo, formerly of São Paulo. The player, sent off in the second leg of the round of 16, will have to serve a suspension.

How Palmeiras arrives for the match

Palmeiras is looking to remain unbeaten in the competition. With a 100% record in the group stage, Verdão has so far accumulated seven wins and one draw. In the round of 16, they eliminated Universitario-PER with a 4-0 aggregate score. Suspended during the 4-1 win over Internacional in the Brasileirão, coach Abel Ferreira will be able to count on his full squad for the match.

The only absence is forward Paulinho, who underwent surgery on his right tibia in July this year and is only expected to return to the pitch in 2026. On the other hand, the recently signed Andreas Pereira, Carlos Miguel, and Jefté, already registered for the Libertadores, trained with the rest of the squad and should travel with the delegation.
