After facing Deportivo Municipal for the Liga 1, Universitario de Deportes will change gears and focus on the Copa Sudamericana as they will face Goiás on Thursday, April 20 at the Monumental Stadium.
While the 'cremas' are in great form, the 'Esmeraldinho' is not having the best present. They recently lost the final of the Goianio Championship and Guto Ferreira resigned as their coach.
To make matters worse, the 'alviverde' team did not have a good debut in the Brasileirao 2023, losing their visit to Athletico Paranaense by 2-0 with goals from Pedro Henrique (36') and Christian (57').
Goiás won't come to Lima in good shape
For all the aforementioned reasons, Goiás will set foot in Lima in the worst possible way, despite their records this season indicating otherwise due to their good performance in the Goiania state championship.
