To steer his move toward Eternal Glory, the Cacique must see Maturín added to the plan.
Colo Colo leaves the first half of the Chilean season puzzled after a brutal stumble against Curicó. Yet the Copa Libertadores continues to demand attention, with a real chance to reach the round of 16. The team travels to Monaco, driven by urgent results as Group F closes the opening round with just a single point gained so far.
Facing the last-placed side on home soil, a win for the Albo would complicate the path for the opponent heading into a visit to La Bombonera, where Pereira awaits. Gustavo Quinteros has Ramiro González back in action and remains hopeful about the fitness progress of Leonardo Gil, who could emerge as a more frequent option once Carlos Palacios is suspended for the Boca match. Marcos Bolados, who already saw action against the Torteros in Macul, is available for selection.
In Venezuela, the Eternal face a do-or-die scenario. A victory would reignite confidence and preserve direct advancement possibilities to the round of 16, while even a draw would leave important international prospects intact, with a potential move toward the South American cup still on the horizon. However, a loss to be avoided at the Monumental de Maturín remains a priority.
