Though there are three days left for the Copa Libertadores debut, the intention is to have a clear scheme to do damage to Fluminense. Tiago Nunes has no doubts about the best strategy he will use to start a victory in his scheme, so he will not vary his intentions.

The Brazilian coach turned the page on the draw against Municipal and focused on enhancing his eleven for the Copa Libertadores. In the defensive block, there are no doubts, and even in this tournament, it is what the coach has maintained the most.
In the midfield, he will have the return of Yoshimar Yotún, who will play further forward to generate scoring opportunities, taking advantage of his great vision of the game. Jesús Castillo and Jesús Pretell will be the game destroyers with the goal of not giving spaces to Fluminense.
The only doubt lies in the wingers. Corozo is recovering from an injury and has been testing little by little to see if he can arrive without problems. Joao Grimaldo is the first option to occupy that space. On the other side, Alejandro Hohberg, who has scored three goals in the Liga 1, is winning the battle against Leandro Sosa.
In the attack, Brenner Marlos will fight for every ball to score his first goal in a Copa Libertadores. Sporting Cristal is excited about his debut and trusts to have a full stadium again that will be a "12th" player to push in difficult moments.
Lineup of Sporting Cristal
Renato Solís, Jhilmar Lora, Gianfranco Chávez, Ignacio Da Silva, Nilson Loyola, Jesús Castillo, Jesús Pretell, Yoshimar Yotún, Joao Grimaldo or Washington Corozo, Alejandro Hohberg, and Brenner Marlos.
