São Paulo and Universidad Católica, from Chile, face each other on Thursday night, at Morumbi, in the return game of the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana. The duel is scheduled for 21:30 (Brasília time).
Tricolor has an important advantage after the 4-2 victory in Chile a week ago. The team can even be defeated by a goal difference that advances. Defeat by two goals takes the definition to penalties.
São Paulo’s list of embezzlement remains large. In addition to the injured, Rogério Ceni still won’t have the three players sent off in the first leg. Rafinha should take the place of Igor Vinícius, and Eder can form the attack with Luciano
Catolica, led by coach Ariel Holan, is torn between trying to overcome a considerable disadvantage in the Sudamericana or focusing on the Chilean League, where it has an average campaign, but with the dream of getting closer to the leaders – today it is in 11th place, 10 points behind of Colo Colo.
