LDU continues without goalkeeper Gonzalo Valle, who suffered a knee injury. Domínguez will remain among the starters. Besides him, coach Tiago Nunes cannot count on Bryan Ramírez, who was sent off in the first leg at Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado.

Palmeiras

Palmeiras lost its unbeaten record in the competition in the first leg of the semifinal. In the first phase, they had the best overall campaign, with a 100% success rate. Then, in the round of 16, they eliminated Universitario-PER, with a win (0-4) and a draw (0-0), and subsequently, in the quarterfinals, they overcame River Plate-ARG, after two wins (1-2 and 3-1).

For the match, Verdão will have three confirmed absences: goalkeeper Weverton (fracture in the right hand), Lucas Evangelista (surgery on the right thigh), and Paulinho (surgery on the right leg). Midfielder Aníbal Moreno, who is recovering from a calf edema in the left leg, is still doubtful but has a chance to strengthen the team.
