Match Preview
River Plate topped Group C of the Copa Libertadores with 13 points and is coming off a 2-0 win against Guarani in the first-leg of this round of 16 matchup. Marcelo Gallardo has had a very off-season losing key players like Sebastian Driussi and Augusto Solari but also bringing in spectacular players like Enzo Perez, Javier Pinola and Ignacio Scocco. The team from Buenos Aires has the significant advantage playing at the Estadio Monumental and should be able to advance to the quarterfinals of the competition.
Guarani finished second in Group H of the Copa Libertadores with 11 points, coming in just behind Gremio in first. The Paraguayan giants are the current champions in the Paraguayan league but should have almost no chance to get a ticket to the next round of this Copa Libertadores.
One of the most notable players on this team is the former Boca Juniors and River Plate defender Julio Caceres, who is still going strong at 37 years old. This match is set to be a mismatch especially at the Estadio Monumental but should still prove to be a hard-fought encounter.
