To remain first in group C of the Libertadores, The Strongest will need Estudiantes de La Plata to add this Saturday (6:00 p.m.) with Gremio in Porto Alegre.
This is how the area looked after the Brazilian club won (0-1) on Tuesday against Huachipato in Chile.
That score left everything defined in terms of the classifications.
El Tigre and Gremio will be in the round of 16 of the Libertadores and Negriazul will play in the Sudamericana playoff.
For its part, Pincha said goodbye to everything because he will not be able to leave the fourth (last box).
Even so, the Gualdinegra fans will “wear” the La Plata team’s shirt for this Saturday’s game.
The national representative has 10 units and goes first.
Gremio (9) is second, Huachipato (8) was third and the Argentine club (4) closes positions without any options.
If Gremio “respects” its home field, it will score 12 points and displace The Strongest from the top.
In that case, Tigre will play with Fluminense in the round of 16 and Tricolor will play against Peñarol.
In this situation, Ismael Rescalvo’s team would start as locals at the Siles in La Paz and would define the key against the current American champion at the Maracaná in Rio de Janeiro.
On the other hand, if Gremio falls or draws with Estudiantes, the La Paz credit will be first.
In this scenario, it would start in Montevideo with Manya and close in Miraflores.
If Saturday’s duel ends tied, Gremio will have 10 units. Although both have a +2 goal difference, The Strongest has had more celebrations (eight against six).
