Copa Libertadores
Grêmio vs Guaraní
19:30 ET
The ‘Tricolor’ drags the biggest undefeated of the competition participants. Renato Portaluppi's team fell 2-1 against Santos at the Brasileirao on October 11. It was the last time the Porto Alegre team lost.
Since then he has played 14 games, with eleven victories. None of the 16 ranked eighths come close to those numbers. Palmeiras and Boca Juniors have not lost in Libertadores, but Verdao fell to Goiás and the Xeneizes to Lanús, both in local leagues. River Plate is the one that comes closest, with six games without losing.
For his part, Guaraní lives a different situation than the Gaúchos, since in the last ten outings they added four wins and four losses. On Sunday they beat Sportivo Luqueño 2-1 and temporarily entered the playoffs qualification zone of the Paraguayan tournament.
For this game, Gustavo Costas will not be able to count on the midfielder Jorge Morel, sent off in the first leg, and has two doubts. The full back Guillermo Benítez is between cotton wool due to a muscle problem; Miguel Ángel Benítez would replace him. And Alexis Villalva would occupy the place of the Argentine Nicolás Tripichio, with a poor performance.
