ESPN and Disney+ will broadcast it.

Galo are fourth and last in the group with four points.

They must win at all costs to reach the final round with a chance of direct qualification to the round of 16 or the playoffs.

A home defeat combined with a win for Puerto Cabello (six points) against Juventud (five) would mean elimination.

The mission is to keep up the good form in the Brasileirão to avoid embarrassment in the Sudamericana.

Eduardo Domínguez once again has Victor Hugo available, after he missed the last five matches due to edema in his left thigh.

Scarpa, Patrick and Índio are in the medical department.

Cienciano 🇵🇪

The Peruvian side lead the group with seven points. A win will secure direct qualification to the round of 16.

Horacio Melgarejo is expected to rely on the team that has been playing in the Peruvian Championship.

The only absentee is midfielder Santiago Arias.

Third in the local league with 29 points, Cienciano are coming off a defeat to leaders Alianza Lima (36).

The key player is attacking midfielder Alejandro Hohberg, the top scorer in the Peruvian Championship with nine goals.

The lineup has not yet been announced.
