From 21 o'clock, Velez Sarsfield will face Red Bull Bragantino, from Brazil, for date 2 of Group C of the Copa Libertadores. The match, which will have the referee of Colombian Jhon Alexander Ospina Londoño, will be followed on the Fox Sports screen.
El Fortín is going for recovery after the tough defeat to Estudiantes in La Plata (1-4) in the cup premiere. It is that beyond the bad start in the international tournament, the present in the League Cup is not the best for Liniers either. They march in 9th place in their zone with 10 points as a result of two wins, four draws and three defeats.
After the removal of players such as Thiago Almada, who was transferred to MLS, from Federico Mancuello or Juan Martín Lucero, the irregular start triggered Mauricio Pellegrino's resignation as coach Velezano. In his place he took over Julio Vaccari, who will take over the first team until the middle of the year.
In the face of tonight's match at the José Amalfitani stadium, the local coach would have a doubt in the attack. The options would be for Sebastián Sosa Sánchez to start again, who comes from doing so in the draw against Boca Juniors for the local tournament, or for the experienced Lucas Pratto to enter his place.
In the case of the visit, the Brazilian team led by Mauricio Barbieri comes from surpassing Nacional as a local in the beginning of the Libertadores. In addition, in the opening of the Brasileirao tournament, he equalized 2-2 as a visitor against Juventude last Monday with a formation full of substitutes.
It should be remembered that Bragantino comes from being runner-up in the last Copa Sudamericana after falling to Atlético Paranaense and that it is a club that is barely three years old. In April 2019, Club Atlético Bragantino, which had just been saved from relegation in the Paulista tournament, and the new Red Bull Brasil (founded in 2007), merged to give life to this new institution that went from playing Serie B to being one of the great protagonists of Brazilian football in recent times.
