Palmeiras announced their starting lineup for the crucial second leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16 against Cerro Porteño to be held in Nueva Olla in Paraguay this Wednesday (19). The Brazilian club are throwing in some changes in midfield after Andreas Pereira was red-hot and disqualified in the first leg. The first encounter at Nubank Parque ended 1-1, so the tension is greater in Nueva Olla: if there is a repeat of the draw on aggregate, who will advance to the quarter-finals will be determined by penalties. This is scheduled to be judged according to local tie regulation. Due to the suspension of Andreas Pereira, trainer Abel Ferreira inserted Lucas Evangelista in the center line. In defence, a back-three of Barboza, Gustavo Gómez and Murilo will star—an arrangement that suggests Palmeiras are ready to prioritize compactness at the back in the face of Cerro Porteño's inventive attack in their own territory. Here is Palmeiras' prepared starting XI: Carlos Miguel; Barboza, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo; Allan, Lucas Evangelista, Marlon Freitas, Piquerez; Jhon Arias, Vitor Roque, Flaco López

The report also mentions that Maurício will start on the bench, while Ferreira again picks Flaco López and Vitor Roque in the first attacking combination. The same starting 11 from the previous game—except for the change because Pereira was out—shows the coach's belief in the current core of the team. For Palmeiras, getting a positive result in Nueva Olla is important—not only because of advancing to the Copa Libertadores but also because of the pride and momentum that comes with a successful campaign in the continental competition. As for Cerro Porteño, it is a big advantage to play at home accompanied by the strong support of the fans and familiarity with the pitch. The defense will remain tight and Palmeiras will need discipline in the midfield if they want to control the rhythm of the game in Asunción. This tie is one of the most important stages of their season on the continental stage—the winner will test their hopes in the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores.
