They search for the qualification

* The winner will participate in Copa Libertadores group stage, more specifically, in the 5th group along with Palmeiras, San Lorenzo and Junior.

*The second leg is taking place in Venezuela.

It was a difficult match but Melgar managed to win 1-0 Universidad de Chile in home and then to play a bore draw in the second leg in Chile. They took advantage of their home win and qualified. Caracas are their current opponent and they will search for a score that will give them the upper hand for the second leg. The League in Peru started last Weekend where Melgran suffered a 0-3 home loss vs Deportivo Municipal, however their coach made a wide rotation. Their main goal is to participate in Copa Libertadores groups. Jorge Pautasso won't have Nicolás Freitas available, as he is injured. Bernardo Guesta is going to be part of the offensive line.

On the other hand, Caracas are in the second qualification round after two draws vs Delfin, 1-1 on the road and 0-0 in the second leg inVenezuela. They will do their best to score today, if they want keep their chances for qualification in the forthcoming second leg. They have 7 points after four games played in Venezuelan Primera Division. The most recent one was the 1-1 draw with Aragua in their home.

Melgar will try to profit from the advantage today. Caracas may did their best vs Delfin but tonight's game is on another level. Melgar to win with more than two goals difference is my call.
