Estudiantes and Fortaleza enter the field this Thursday (7) for the round of 16 of the Libertadores. In the first leg, tie at 1 to 1. For the return, a new tie takes the decision to penalties. Whoever wins guarantees a spot in the quarterfinals. The ball rolls at 21:30 (Brasília time) at Jorge Luis Hirschi.
Coach Vojvoda is reinforced by Ceballos and Depietri, who have complied with the isolation protocol due to Covid-19 and should be available again. Against Coritiba, in the last round, Leão spared players an eye on the clash of the round of 16 of Liberta. Leão has no suspension for this Thursday’s game.
Like Fortaleza, Estudiantes, coached by Ricardo Zielinski, also spared players in the last match against Arsenal de Sarandí for the Argentine Championship and will have maximum strength for the duel against Tricolor for Libertadores.
