Estudiantes de La Plata is fighting for qualification to the knockout stage of the Copa Libertadores in a decisive match against Independiente Medellín. This encounter will take place on Tuesday at 21:30 at the Jorge Luis Hirschi stadium, where the home team needs a victory to advance in the tournament. Following a recent defeat against Flamengo, El Pincha finds itself in a complicated situation, as they must win to secure their place in the next phase. Coach Alexander Medina will be without Tomás Palacios and Tiago Palacios, who are suspended due to yellow card accumulation. Instead, Gastón Benedetti and Facundo Farías are expected to fill their positions, and the inclusion of Edwuin Cetré in the attack is being considered. On the other hand, Independiente Medellín arrives at the match with an advantage, as a draw will be enough for them to qualify. With seven points on the table, the Colombian team has shown good performance, adding pressure on El Pincha to secure all three points. This match is vital for Estudiantes de La Plata's aspirations in the continental tournament and promises to be an exciting encounter.
