Important Absences

The team led by Luis Zubeldía will have significant absences. Left-back Guilherme Arana suffered an ankle sprain and was ruled out by the medical department. Meanwhile, midfielder Hércules, with pubic pain, was also preserved.

In addition, top scorer Germán Cano remains out, recovering from an injury.

Zubeldía is still assessing the physical condition of the squad to decide on the starting 11. There are doubts in midfield between Lucho Acosta and Ganso, and in the attack between Serna and Savarino.

Probable Line-up

The tendency is for the Tricolor to take the field with: Fábio; Guga, Freytes, Jemmes, and Renê; Bernal, Martinelli, and Lucho Acosta (Ganso); Canobbio, Serna (Savarino), and John Kennedy.
