📋 Galo line-up set for Argentina clash, Sul-Americana spot at stake

It's decision night for Godoy Cruz and Atlético in the return leg of the Copa Sudamericana-2025 round of 16.

Both teams will face off starting at 19h (Brasília time) this Wednesday (21).

The Feliciano Gambarte stadium, in Mendoza, is the stage for the duel.

Whoever advances to the quarterfinals will face Bolívar - deciding at home - and will guarantee a prize of 700 thousand dollars (approximately R$ 3.8 million).

Duel situation 🆚

Coming from behind, Galo won 2-1 playing at Arena MRV.

In other words: they will guarantee a spot in the next phase if they don't concede a goal on Argentine soil, for example.

Godoy Cruz needs to win by a two-goal difference to qualify in regular time.

A win by the home team by one goal will take the decision to penalties.

Godoy Cruz 🇦🇷

The Atlético rival has only one win in their last ten matches of the season.

The mission is to seek classification to gain momentum.

Rasmussen and Meli were preserved in the defeat to River Plate (4-2) in the last round of the Argentine Championship.

They have three points (from three draws) in five games in the Clausura, occupying the penultimate place in Group B.

Author of the goal at Arena MRV, the young Andino and the scorer Auzmendi are the trump cards.

The lineup has not been officially announced yet.

Atlético 🐓

Galo is struggling to show regularity, as they come from a defeat at Arena MRV and have only won four of their last ten games - only two in a row.

Lyanco (left thigh injury) and Saravia (right leg trauma) are still out.

Victor Hugo is the one who plays alongside Alonso in the defense.

The doubt was about the possible presence of Reinier from the start.

But he starts on the bench.
