Ready for the qualification step

The performance of the River Plate in the previous round was more than impressive. They made the ultimate comeback, from 1-0 to 1-6 against Racing Club! That huge win in this big clash boosted the morale of Marcelo Gallardo's team. They registered 2 wins and 1 draw and they have 7 points after three rounds. In the previous stage of Copa Libertadores, they eliminated Cruzeiro after the penalty shootout. They played a bore draw in both games with their opponent. Rafael Borre, Matias Suarez and Nicolas De la Cruz are on a great form and they could score with ease. Ignacio Scocco is now 100% fit and as soon as he returned in action, he started scoring again.

On the other hand, Cerro Porteno passed over San Lorenzo in the previous stage of Copa Libertadores. They played a bore draw in Argentina and they qualified after their home win (2-1). Despite the fact that their opponent opened the scoreline in the first half, they managed to make the overturn. In Paraguayan Primera Division, they sit on third place of the table, having 11 points after six rounds. In the most recent one they played a bore draw with Olimpia Asuncion. Caceres and Novik are injured while midfielder Diaz is missing too tonight. 

River Plate are powerful in front of their fans and they are on a high flying mood after their huge win in the big clash of their domestic League. They will search for a win to make the first qualification step tonight. Cerro Porteno will try to avoid a loss in Monumental but it's not that easy.
