📋 Team News: Peñarol

Leonardo Fernández (Cruciate ligament tear), Facundo Álvez (Hip injury), Brandon Álvarez (Pubalgia), Nahuel Herrera (Shoulder injury), Franco González (Muscle tear) and Nicolás Fernández (unknown injury) won’t be playing for Peñarol manager Diego Aguirre.

We are thinking that Aurinegros should employ a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, beginning the first half with Washington Aguerre, Brian Barboza, Mauricio Lemos, Lucas Ferreira, Franco Escobar, Nicolas Fernandez, Jesus Trindade, Luis Angulo, Leandro Umpierrez, Diego Laxalt and Matias Arezo.

📰 Team News: Independiente Santa Fe

Thanks to a fully injury-free squad ready to go, the Independiente Santa Fe boss Harold Rivera has no fitness worries to report before this match.

We believe El Cardenal might play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Andres Mosquera, Mateo Puerta, Emanuel Olivera, Victor Moreno, Jeison Angulo, Alexis Zapata, Daniel Torres, Yeicar Perlaza, N. Lautaro Bustos, Jhojan Torres and Hugo Rodallega.

✨ Prediction

We envisage that Independiente Santa Fe have the firepower to score against this Peñarol side, however it realistically won’t be enough to avoid defeat.

We are anticipating a close game with a 2-1 win for Peñarol at full-time. Let’s just see how this one goes.
