Santos and Nacional, the other two members of Group 6 of the Copa Libertadores, will closely follow what happens tonight at the Ciudad de La Plata stadium. Both teams are currently concentrating in San Pablo, as they will face each other tomorrow from 19:15.
So far, the leader of the group is Real Garcilaso with 3 points (+2 in goal difference), while Estudiantes and El Bolso are one step below with one unit. In last place is the Brazilian team, which will be forced to win three points against the Uruguayan team.
The schedule indicates that in matchday 3, El Pincha will host Santos and Garcilaso will do the same with Nacional, while in the fourth round the same matches will be repeated but with the home field reversed. In the last two matchdays, Estudiantes will visit Cuzco and host El Bolso, while "Peixe" will visit Parque Central and play at home against the Peruvian team.
"IT'S A YOUNG TEAM"
Danilo Carando is an Argentine forward who is currently playing for Al Fujaraih in the United Arab Emirates, with Maradona as the coach, but who wore the Real Garcilaso shirt last year.
In an interview with this media outlet, he spoke about the Peruvian team ahead of tonight's match: "I see them well, many players have left compared to last season but it's a young team", and added: "They are strong at home due to the altitude."
Finally, he recalled last season: "I spent the whole 2017 at the club and we achieved important things, including qualification for the Libertadores."
