Preview, Team News with Olimpia vs Melgar Lineups
Olimpia
The biggest club in Paraguay has won Copa Libertadores on three occasions, but it has passed over twenty years since the last time it happened. With their undefeated record after five games, Olimpia has already secured its place in the last 16, but with a win in the final match, they would take the top spot in the group as well. Saul Salcedo, Luis Caceres, and Derlis Gonzalez are injured.
Provisional lineup: Olveira, Zabala, Gamarra, Zarate, Romana, Torres, Gomez, Silva, Cardozo, Paiva Ayala, Fernandez.
Melgar
The Peruvian outfit could still prolong their South American adventure by advancing to the Copa Sudamericana with a third-place finish in the group. If they lose this match, they will hope that Patronato doesn't get a win at Atletico Nacional.
Provisional lineup: Cabezudo, Acrhimbaud, Galeano, Deneumostier, D'Arrigo, Orzan, Arias, Tandazo, Bordacahar, Cuesta, Cabrera Nakamura.
Player to Watch: Fernando Cardozo
One of the highest-rated players for Olimpia is Fernando Cardozo. The 22-year-old has gone through Olimpia's youth system but spent some time in Portugal on loan. He has played for Boavista and Vizela while looking to return home and become one of the most important players for Olimpia.
Cardozo's market price has risen in the last two years and during the club's Copa Libertadores campaign, he has played in all five games with every single minute of game time on the field. Cardozo scored two goals and assisted on a single occasion as Olimpia is close to securing the top spot in the group stage.
