Watch out: Platense slump before Fluminense tie in Libertadores | OneFootball

Fluminense’s opponent in the Libertadores quarterfinals, Platense arrive at the Maracanã looking to bounce back. The Argentine side is winless in its last two matches and is trying to regain the good form it showed at the start of Martín Palermo’s tenure. Since the arrival of the coach, formerly of Fortaleza and a Boca Juniors idol, Platense has played eight matches, with two wins and four draws. In two of those draws, the team advanced on penalties, against Coquimbo Unido in the Libertadores and Instituto in the Copa Argentina. In the Clausura Tournament, their form has also been inconsistent. Platense sits in 12th place, with nine points from eight rounds. For the clash with Fluminense, Palermo will be without Luciano Giménez, who suffered a dislocation in his right shoulder.Probable lineup: Cozzani; Juan Saborido, Vázquez, Victor Cuesta and Tomás Silva; Barrios, Pablo Ferreira and Zapiola; Mainero, Togni and Nicolás Retamar.
