You can read all the latest news and injury updates for both teams here, including the probable The Strongest vs Sporting Cristal lineups:
The Strongest
While they lost two of their last four matches in Bolivian league, The Strongest remain at the top of the standings and with four points more than the next team in the table. On top of that, The Strongest are currently second in their Copa Libertadores group and have a chance to secure a spot in the next stage, for which a win in this round would go a long way.

The Strongest Predicted Lineups:
Viscarra – Torres, Castillo, Jusino, Avellaneda – Quiroga, Ursino, Ortega – Chura, Triverio, Franco
Sporting Cristal
While Cerro Porteno is currently second in Paraguayan Apertura, they are ten points behind Libertad at the top, so they won't be winning the title in their domestic league this season. Meanwhile, the team only has three points from the first four matches in Copa Libertadores group stages and their chances of getting to the next stage are minimal, but they could end up third and secure a place in Copa Sudamericana Top 16 phase.

Player to Watch: Enrique Triverio
One of the key players for The Strongest in Copa Libertadores so far has been Enrique Triverio, the experienced striker from Argentina who scored three goals in group stages so far.
The 34-year-old is also the team's top scorer in Bolivian league, so Sporting Cristal will have to find a way to stop Triverio if they want to hope for a good result in this duel.
