In their last match, América was beaten by Atlético-MG in the first match of the Campeonato Mineiro final. With the 3-2 defeat, coach Vagner Mancini’s team will be at a disadvantage in the second leg, which will be led by Galo.

In turn, Peñarol is the leader of the Uruguayan Championship, with 20 points and only one defeat in nine matches. Last Saturday, coach Alfredo Arias’ team won the classic against Nacional, their biggest rival, by 2-0. Therefore, the Uruguayans arrive with morale for their debut in the Sudamericana.

Peñarol has good memories against Brazilian teams in the Copa Sudamericana. The Uruguayan team twice beat Corinthians in the 2021 edition of the competition – with scores of 2-0 in Brazil and 4-0 in Montevideo.
