How Platense come into the match

Platense are not in good form. The team is on a six-match winless run and sits 10th in Group A of the Argentine Championship. They are coming off a goalless draw away to Lanús.

Making their Copa Libertadores debut, the Argentine side will be without defender Gonzalo Goñi, midfielders Franco Minerva and Marcos Portillo, and forward Hector Bobadilla.

How Corinthians come into the match

On a winless streak, Corinthians head into the match under pressure. The team has not won in nine games and has faced criticism from organized supporter groups in recent days.

The black-and-white side, however, hopes to turn things around under Fernando Diniz. The coach, who will make his debut in charge of the team, arrives to replace Dorival Júnior, who was dismissed after Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Internacional at Neo Química Arena.

For their debut in the continental tournament, however, the coach will have some important absences: Kaio César (perifibral inflammation in the back of the right thigh), Hugo (knee surgery), Memphis (strain in the front of the right thigh), and Gui Negão (strain in the back of the right thigh).

Head-to-head

The teams have never faced each other and will play this first-ever meeting in the opening round of the Copa Libertadores.
