Universitario de Deportes will play one of the most important matches of the season when they visit Corinthians from Brazil at the Neo Química Arena in Sao Paulo for the first leg of the 2023 Copa Sudamericana Playoffs, with the mission of achieving a good result with a view to the rematch in our capital.
As it is known, 'Timao' has a squad full of good players who are worth eight times more than the entire squad of Universitario. However, Vanderlei Luxemburgo decided to prioritize Brasileirao and the Copa de Brasil, so he called up a team with substitute and youth players, along with some starting players. In the face of this, Líbero tells you whether the difference between both teams remains large or has decreased with the names that the Brazilians will use.
What is the difference between Universitario and the team Corinthians will present?
Universitario, according to the Transfermarkt website, increased its value with the arrival of Edison Flores (1' 500,000 euros). It currently costs 13,380,000 euros, but due to the absences of José Carvallo, Roberto Siucho, Martín Pérez Guedes, and Alexander Succar, it drops to 12,175,000 euros.
These numbers are lower compared to the 'Time do Povo', who despite lowering more than half of their price with the elements they will use against the 'merengues', it remains very high, being worth a total of 39,750,000 euros, more than three times the cost of the entire team led by Jorge Fossati.
