Sporting Cristal 🇵🇪
Verdão’s rival is the current group leader with six points.
But they are not in a good moment in their domestic league.
They are only 12th in the Peruvian league with 15 points after 13 matches.
Alianza Lima lead with 32.
Brazilian coach Zé Ricardo still has to do without the injured Christofer Gonzáles.
Center-back Miguel Araújo is doubtful.
The likely scenario is two Brazilians on the pitch: Cris Silva, formerly of Fluminense, and Gustavo Cazonatti, formerly of Chapecoense.
The lineup has not yet been made official.
Palmeiras 🟢⚪
Verdão did not win the derby against Santos, but their lead at the top of the Brasileirão remained the same thanks to Flamengo’s slip-up.
