📋 Fluminense named for the Libertadores quarter-final second leg | OneFootball

It’s time!

Fluminense’s lineup is set for the second leg of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals.

Shortly, from 7pm (Brasília time), the Tricolor take on Platense in Buenos Aires.

The match will be played at the Ciudad de Vicente López Stadium. 

Chilean referee Cristian Garay will be in charge. 

ESPN and Disney+ will broadcast it. 

Tie situation 🆚

After winning 2-0 at the Maracanã, Flu go into the match with the advantage of being able to lose by as many as one goal.

The Argentine side will only advance in regular time if they win by at least three goals.

A two-goal victory will force a penalty shootout.

Whoever goes through will secure prize money of $2.3 million. 

And will face LDU or Palmeiras in the semi-finals.

The second leg will be this Wednesday (16), after the Brazilian side won 1-0 in São Paulo. 

Platense 🇦🇷

There is heavy pressure on former striker Martín Palermo.

His team sit just 13th out of 15 teams in Group A of Argentina’s Clausura.

He will be without veteran centre-back Cuesta, formerly of Inter, Botafogo and Bahia, who is suspended.

And Luciano Giménez remains out after suffering a dislocated right shoulder. 

He rested starters against Estudiantes — a 2-1 defeat — in pursuit of another historic Libertadores qualification. 

The lineup has not yet been announced.

Fluminense 🟢⚪🔴

Marcão rested starters in the last round of the Brasileirão and saw his unbeaten run come to an end.

Turning his focus back to the Libertadores, he will be without Nonato, who is suspended.

But Canobbio, who missed the first leg after being sent off against Rivadavia, returns.

The big doubt was over the attacking setup. 

Soteldo remains in the starting XI. 

Freytes was included in the squad, but ultimately was left out of the bench.
