Sao Paulo faces Libertad in the Libertadores

São Paulo will host Libertad at home this Wednesday, the 14th, for the fifth round of the group stage of the Libertadores. The match will be at MorumBis, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).

Tricolor comes into the match as the leader of its group in the competition. Having performed well in the first games of the group stage, the São Paulo team is undefeated, with 3 wins and one draw, without conceding any goals in the victories, and is already guaranteed a place in the round of 16 of the competition and is looking for a good result to finish first in the group. Despite coming into the match after a defeat in the Brazilian Championship, away from home, to Palmeiras , São Paulo is on a great run of games at MorumBis, having not lost at home since February. The team's main absences are players Calleri, Luiz Gustavo and Lucas Moura.

Libertad is just behind São Paulo, in second place in the group, thanks to two wins in four games. The team needs to earn points to secure qualification, and is not in good form in the Copa Libertadores, having not won or scored any goals in the last two games, and has also not won in the other competitions for a month.

For the match, André Silva is the standout player in the competition for Tricolor, scoring in the team's last two games, and for Libertad, Ivan Franco should be watched as he opened the scoring in the team's last victory in the competition.
