Allianz Parque will be the perfect setting for this final matchday of the Copa Libertadores, where Palmeiras and Junior de Barranquilla will face off. “Verdao” has been dealing with two very different situations this year; on the one hand, in the Brazilian league, they managed to beat Flamengo and extend their lead to 7 points. However, in the Copa Libertadores, following their loss to Cerro Porteño, their fate no longer lies in their own hands to advance as group leaders. The truth is that the team led by Portuguese coach Abel Ferreira carries a heavy burden of responsibility to reach the final stages, given that they have the most expensive roster in all of South America.
On the other side, the “Sharks” have had a disappointing season in the Copa Libertadores, entering the final matchday already eliminated and hoping only to sneak into the Copa Sudamericana. However, the team led by Uruguayan coach Alfredo Arias knows they’ll have to defy the odds if they want to secure a victory in Brazil, where their recent record shows they’ve won only 2 of their last 20 games on Brazilian soil. On top of that, they’ll have to focus on securing the Apertura title, culminating in a final against Atlético Nacional.
