Aborigen will host Palmeiras this Wednesday from 20:30 in a match of the fourth round of Group B that will be the revenge of the 3-1 thrashing that they suffered in the first leg before the break due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The team coached by former Brazilian national team coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo prevailed last week in La Paz against Bolivar from Bolivia with a 2-1 victory, and in the opening match they defeated Tigre from Argentina 2-0, which practically guarantees their spot in the round of 16.

"We built this team to be one of the protagonists of this tournament. It is a highly tactical team that plays with a 4-3-3 formation and transforms into a 4-1-4-1 when they need to defend," Costas told the media, highlighting that this style of play was seen in the league match last weekend against Gremio.

He added that they "attack very quickly" with midfielders who constantly arrive in the opposing area, while on the wings they have two wingers with the ability to also play in central attack positions.

Guarani, who currently sit in second place with six points after defeating Bolivar from Bolivia 2-0 and Tigre from Argentina 4-1 in home matches, will try to "be organized, not get anxious, and try to disrupt the opponent's play," emphasized Costas.

In any case, he confirmed that he will be keeping an eye on what the team from La Paz can do this Tuesday in Argentina against Tigre, who with three consecutive defeats must win to avoid an early elimination.

"If we win tomorrow, it will be an important step because if Bolivar beats Tigre, we will still be three points ahead of them," Costas stressed, confirming that Guarani will have two changes in defense compared to the previous starting eleven.

Miguel Benitez will replace the injured Rolando Garcia Guerreño and Cristian Baez will enter for Guillermo Benitez, who is suspended due to accumulating yellow cards.

Therefore, Guarani will line up with Gaspar Servio; Ivan Ramirez, Javier Baez, Jhohan Romana, Miguel Benitez; Jose Florentin, Jorge Morel, Rodrigo Fernandez, Rodney Redes, Bautista Merlini, and Fernando Fernandez.
