Universitario x Nacional: where to watch live in Group B of the Libertadores

Universitario welcomes Nacional to Estádio Monumental, at Lima, this Wednesday. The clash marks the third round of the Grupo B of the CONMEBOL Libertadores. The Peruvian team has one point and needs a victory to get closer to the classification zone. Nacional leads the group with four points and seeks to maintain its unbeaten record.

The game starts at 11pm Brasília time. The stadium should receive a good crowd, with tickets largely sold out.

Universitario pushes for points at home

The team led by Jesús Rabanal is experiencing an irregular moment in the season. In the last match for Campeonato Peruano, they lost to Alianza Atlético 2-1. The defense showed weaknesses, but the attack has experienced names.

• Miguel Vargas in goal
• Defensive Linha with Williams Riveros and Anderson Santamaría
• Meio-field with Jairo Concha and Jesús Castillo
• Ataque led by Alex Valera and Andy Polo

The team has not yet won at Libertadores. Empatou with Deportes Tolima and lost to Coquimbo Unido. Monumental tends to be a cauldron, which can make a difference against the visitor.

Nacional arrives as partial favorite

The Uruguayans won one and drew another in the group stage. Sebastián Coates, an experienced defender, leads the defense and has already scored in this edition. Nicolás Lodeiro organizes the midfield, while Nicolás López and Maxi Gómez threaten in attack.

Jorge Bava, coach of Nacional, has an almost complete cast. The only confirmed casualty is Gonzalo Carneiro, injured. The Uruguayan team maintains a good average of ball possession and usually exploits quick counterattacks.
