Last week at Estadio Alberto Jose Armando, Palmeiras put on an incredible display and enter this contest with a four-goal advantage and with one foot already in the semi-final, where they will face either Boca Juniors or Racing Club.

Palmeiras took the lead in the first leg inside the first quarter of an hour through a Raphael Veiga penalty and were home and dry by halftime, with Marcos Rocha and Mayke adding to the tally by the interval.

Since then, they played one league game against Vasco da Gama over the weekend and secured a 1-0 victory, which was their fifth successive match without conceding across all competitions.

Abel Ferreira’s side have won three and draw just one of their four home matches in this competition and have shortened significantly in price to go on to win back this trophy after bowing out in the semi-finals last season.

Deportivo Pereira were outplayed on their home turf last week, and while they did play some attractive football in stages, they created very few good channces in the game and managed just two shots on target.

Alejandro Restrepo’s side have failed to win any of their four away matches in this competition, losing to Boca Juniors and Monagas and drawing against Colo Colo and Independiente Valle in the last round.

While overturning the four-goal deficit may be too much to ask for Deportivo Pereira, they will want to try at least to secure a win in the match, although it will not be easy to break down the solid Palmeiras defence on their home turf.

Deportivo Pereira Team News

Aldair Quintana will continue in goal for Deportivo Pereira in the absence of Santiago Londono, and he will likely have the services of Carlos Ramirez and Juan Quintero in central defence.

Rafael Navarro (knee), Yesus Cabrera (ruptured cruciate ligament) and Danilo Santacruz (torn muscle) are all ruled out of selection through injury.
