FBC Melgar has a historic mission this Wednesday night, October 7. The red and black club receives Independiente del Valle at their fortress, the Monumental Stadium of UNSA, for the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana 2022 semifinals. With a 3-0 deficit from the first leg, Domino's only chance is to win by a large margin to qualify for the final.

The Melgar lineup is confirmed

Coach Pablo Lavallén will send a starting eleven with some changes compared to the initial team that lost in Quito a week ago. The main novelty is the return of full-back Paolo Reyna, who is back after serving his suspension and will reclaim his place, which had been covered by Matías Lazo.

Another change will be the inclusion of Kevin Quevedo instead of Kenji Cabrera. 'Kevedinho' will have to support the striker Bernardo Cuesta from the wing, who failed to convert some chances in the first leg. On the other hand, there will be no changes for Matagigantes.

Melgar's confirmed lineup

• Carlos Cáceda; Alejandro Ramos, Alec Deneumostier, Leonel Galeano, Paolo Reyna; Luis Iberico, Horacio Orzán, Alexis Arias, Kevin Quevedo, Martín Pérez Guedes, and Bernardo Cuesta.

Independiente del Valle's confirmed lineup

• Moisés Ramírez; Mateo Carabajal, Richard Schunke, Luis Segovia; Matías Fernández, Marcos Angulo, Cristian Pellerano, Lorenzo Faravelli, Jhoanner Chávez; Júnior Sornoza, and Lautaro Díaz.
