The Boca Juniors vs Palmeiras Copa Libertadores semifinal clash will be broadcast live online as Los Xeneizes host Verdao at La Bombonera this Wednesday, October 24, 2018, at 5:45 PM Pacific.
Boca Juniors has been solid in the Superliga Argentina, currently in fifth place with 15 points and counts with one of the best squads in South America. La Azul y Oro defeated Paraguayan club Libertad in the round of 16 and Brazilian club Cruzeiro in the quarterfinals to get to this semifinal fixture.
Guillermo Barros Schelotto has a solid backline with players like Gino Peruzzi and Paolo Goltz and a dangerous attack that features Edwin Cardona, Mauro Zarate and Dario Benedetto. Boca Juniors is a complete team that plays especially good at home, so Los Xeneizes should have the edge in this first leg.
Palmeiras is currently leading the Brasileiro with 62 points and is tied for the best defense in the league with just 19 goals allowed. Felipe Melo has really helped the backline from the midfield as his defensive and physical abilities are fantastic in Luis Felipe Scolari’s team. Verdao managed to get past Paraguayan club Cerro Porteno in the round of 16 and Chilean club Colo-Colo in the quarterfinals, but will face a much tougher task this time around.
