🚨Confirmed XIs: La U and Lanús line up for semi-final first leg | OneFootball

Today the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana semi-finals between Universidad de Chile and Lanús will be played at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago.

The match will unfortunately be played behind closed doors due to a CONMEBOL sanction imposed on the Chilean club. Despite the absence of fans, U de Chile will try to make their home advantage count and capitalize on their good form, driven by the need to secure an advantage before the return leg.

Lanús, meanwhile, comes into the clash with confidence, having eliminated Fluminense and maintaining a strong performance in the Argentine domestic league. Mauricio Pellegrino’s team, with "Toto" Salvio and Marcelino Moreno as key players, will be looking for a positive result, knowing that the tie will be decided at La Fortaleza next week. A tactical and evenly matched duel is expected, vital for keeping the dream of reaching the final alive.

Confirmed lineups

Lanús: Lozada; Pérez, Marcich, Canale, Izquierdoz; Medina, Cardozo, Moreno, Salvio, Carrera; Castillo.
