Universitario won the reverse fixture 4-2 but they did benefit from playing against 10 men for nearly an hour, and Nacional were still able to carve out chances even with a numerical disadvantage.

Nacional have won their last two games, while the Peruvian visitors are on a three game winless streak and have just one win in their last 10 away from home across all competitions.

Palmeiras are on a 17-game unbeaten run and they should be able to see off Cerro Porteno, but they may concede in victory. The Brazilian big guns have just one clean sheet in their last six games and they were held to a 1-1 draw when these sides met in the reverse fixture in Paraguay, so a Cerro Porteno consolation strike has a chance.
