With many absences, alviverde faces Delfín, in Ecuador.
Coach Abel Ferreira will make his debut at Libertadores with a squad full of absences. Altogether there are 12 players missing at today’s game, four due to injury and eight due to Covid-19. Palmeiras receives Delfín (EQU), at 7:15 pm, Brasília time, in Ecuador. It is worth remembering that the team from São Paulo had the best campaign in the group stage when it was still led by Vanderlei Luxemburgo.
In addition to the Palmeiras game, two more games stir up the night. In Ecuador, Independiente Del Valle (EQU) hosts Nacional (URU) at 7:15 pm. Libertad (PAR) faces Jorge Wilstermann (BOL), in Paraguay. Tomorrow we will have the last game of the first round of the round of 16 with Grêmio facing Guaraní, also in Paraguay.
The death of star Diego Maradona has made the football world sadder. Due to this fatality, Conmebol complied with Boca Junior’s request and postponed the match against Internacional. The new date is yet to be announced.
