Estudiantes la Plata - Cruzeiro

Copa Libertadores

The Argentinian-Brazilian clashes are usually very heated, and both of them want to win it, regardless of the importance of the match. But apparently, for Estudiantes, their age-old rivalry with the Brazilians doesn't seem very important, nor does the revenge for their earlier 0-5 trashing in Brazil. So, with both of them already qualified, and with Cruzeiro already group winners, Estudiantes is putting their focus on the local league, and will rest several players for this final match of the group. Veron, Perez, Rodrigo Lopez and Leandro Benitez will 95% sure be rested, and at it looks very likely that others, like defenders Desabato and Fernandez, will be rested as well. All of them are very important players for Estudiantes, and will likely be missed, as in their places will feature some players that haven't played too much this season, or at all - this being the case of defender Gissi, who could make his debut. Cruzeiro is bringing all of their regulars, and will probably take this match seriously, as they look to finish the group stage as the best team, and to have the luxury of playing the worst runner-up in the competition. GL!

Cruzeiro (+0.25 AH) @ 1.94, 4/10
Result: 0-3, WON
