What Fluminense need to do to qualify in the Libertadores | OneFootball

With the 2-1 win over Bolívar last Tuesday, Fluminense stayed alive in the race for a spot in the Copa Libertadores round of 16, but a major challenge still lies ahead. To qualify, Zubeldía’s team does not depend only on itself and needs a combination of results in the final round.

Tricolor sits in third place in Group C with the same number of points (5) as second-placed Bolívar, which had the edge in the head-to-head matchups and, for that reason, cannot be overtaken by Flu if the teams finish level on points.

In other words, for Fluminense to advance, Bolívar cannot beat Independiente Rivadavia. That is even more crucial to qualification than Tricolor’s own win.

Check out the scenarios:

The final round of Group C will feature simultaneous matches: Fluminense vs. Deportivo La Guaira and Bolívar vs. Independiente Rivadavia will take place next Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
