Estudiantes de La Plata Preview
Estudiantes de La Plata is on a four-game winless streak in all competitions, including the first leg of this quarterfinal series. Although they have not conceded any goals in the last three games, they have not scored either and that could be a cause for concern, as they will need to score in this match to keep going in the international competition. They haven’t lost in their previous three Copa Libertadores matches, and in the round of 16, they tied the first leg 1-1 with Fortaleza before winning 3-0 to advance.
In addition, during the entire competition, the “Pincha” has won all four of its home games and has only conceded one goal in that period, showing a great defensive performance.
Absences: Fabián Noguera and Ezequiel Muñoz.
Possible starting eleven: Mariano Andujar; Agustín Rogel, Luciano Lollo, Jorge Morel; Leonardo Godoy, Fernando Zuqui, Jorge Rodriguez, Emmanuel Mas; Manuel Castro, Pablo Piatti; Mauro Méndez.
Atlético Paranaense Preview
Atlético Paranaense, on the other hand, is in a different situation to its rival, with a four-game unbeaten streak in all competitions. However, in their most recent match, a 2-3 win over Atlético Mineiro, they again conceded goals after having managed to keep three consecutive clean sheets. Their recent numbers are positive, as they have only two defeats in the last 10 games played in all competitions, and in fact none of them were in the continental competition.
The Brazilian team won its most recent away match and ended a four-match winless streak in that condition, and this could serve as extra motivation for the match in Buenos Aires.
Absences: Marlos, Christian Cardoso and Marcelo Cirino.
Possible starting eleven: Bento Krepski; Khellven Silva, Pedro Henrique, Thiago Heleno, Abner Vinicius; Hugo Moura, Fernandinho Rosa; Agustin Canobbio, David Terans, Vitinho dos Santos; Vitor Roque.
JefeBet Prediction
Atlético Paranaense did not win any of its away matches in the group stage, drew one and lost two, and drew away in the round of 16 against Libertad of Paraguay, making it unreliable on rival territory.
Pick: Victory for Estudiantes de La Plata
