👀 Still chasing a spot

Group C

Bolívar and Fluminense (both with five points) and La Guaira (three) are fighting for the second spot.

Tricolor will only succeed if they beat La Guaira and Bolívar fail to defeat Rivadavia at home, though playing in Paraguay.

The Bolivian side would have the advantage in the head-to-head tiebreaker if level on points.

Meanwhile, the Venezuelan team — still without a win — need to triumph at the Maracanã and hope Bolívar lose.

Group D

Universidad Católica (10 points) only need a draw against Boca (7) at La Bombonera.

The Argentine side need to win, because if they draw and Cruzeiro (8) are beaten, they would still be overtaken by Cabuloso on the head-to-head tiebreaker.

Raposa are looking for a win over eliminated Barcelona (3) to advance at least in second place. A possible draw would leave the Minas Gerais side needing Boca to slip up.

Group E

Platense (7 points) need a win over Corinthians at Itaquera so as not to depend on Santa Fe (5) slipping up against Peñarol (3), who have yet to win and are only battling for a Sudamericana spot.

Platense and Santa Fe are level on the head-to-head tiebreaker and, if they finish the round level on points, goal difference is the next tiebreaker.

Group F

Already qualified, Cerro (10 points) need to beat Sporting Cristal (6) to secure first place without having to keep an eye on Palmeiras (8).

The aforementioned Verdão qualify with a win over Junior (4).

A possible draw would leave Abel’s team depending on Sporting Cristal slipping up.

Junior are only fighting (along with Cristal) for a Sudamericana spot.
