Fluminense vs Sporting Cristal Lineups, Match Preview, and Team Information
Fluminense
Even though the Brazilian outfit lost the last two games, they are still in a good position to win Group D. They are the only team out of four in play to have a positive goal difference, but they also have a two-point-cushion ahead of River Plate and Sporting Cristal. Alexsander is a long-term injury concern for the hosts.
Expected lineup: Fabio, Marcelo, David Braz, Nino, Samuel Xavier, Lima, Martinelli, Keno, Gabriel Pirani, Jhon Arias, Lele.
Sporting Cristal
The Peruvian side has done well to fight for a last 16 place in Copa Libertadores, but their journey could continue in Copa Sudamericana even if they lose in Brazil. Sporting are undefeated in their last three group games after losing their opening two matches. Adrian Ugarriza and Marlon Perea are expected to miss the tie.
Expected lineup: Solis Salinas, Diaz, da Silva, Lutiger, Loyola, Sosa Toranza, Tavara, Ascues, Grimaldo, Marlos Brenner, Hohberg.
Player to Watch: Ganso
One of the veteran players for Fluminense, Ganso has been sharing the top scorer position for the team in the Brazilian Serie A with three goals and the same number of assists, but has yet to score in Copa Libertadores while playing four matches and recording a single assist. At 33 years of age, Ganso has been a constant presence in the Fluminense lineup this season.
This is his fourth year at the club after arriving from Sevilla where he hasn't featured much in three years spent in Spain. He also has experience from France's Second Division with Amiens. He has played 451 matches throughout his career while scoring 58 goals and delivering 84 assists. Ganso also had eight caps for Brazil's national team.
