Palmeiras plays at home in the Cup to try to be on top of the Group 7. This group is complicated now because Atletico Nacional defeated Cerro Porte?±o 5-1 last night and Cerro Porte?±o and Palmeiras have 4 points, so Atletico Nacional is on top with 6 points.

Palmeiras could be very complicated to qualify if they dont win this match or get a positive result.

The match will be played in Parque Antarctica, it is expected more than 30.000 people in the stadium.

Palmeiras had a home win in Copa Libertadores in the previous match against Atl. Nacional 3-2 and one draw against Cerro Porte?±o away (0-0).

The coach wants to defend with 5 players and to attack with 5, it means they will put a 3-4-1-2 system in the field.

Palmeiras defeated Portuguesa in the Campeonato Paulista (2-1) and is the leader of this tournament.

For this match Thiago Gomes wont play and the defensive line will be Daniel, Gamarra and Douglas.

Paulo Baier will play in the midfield replacing Correa, Claudio will replace Enilton in the attacking line.

Rosario Central will play this match without points in this competition and a defeat will let them out of the cup.

The most important news are Diaz out of the team, Rivarola is injured and Coudet will play from start but he is injured. The goalkeeper will be Castellano, after being sent off against Atletico Nacional he can play this match.

In the argentine league, Rosario Central draw 1-1 against Racing in the last match, they have scored ONLY 4 goals in all the season. Coach Astrada will have its international debut in this match.

I think Asian Handicap -1.25 is big enough to discourage bettors from giving a shot, but there are some important info to take into consideration: Central have concealed 10 goals so far in the local league (more than 1 in average) and 3 goals in Copa Libertadores in 2 matches. With ONLY 4 goals scored so far it is not a team to fear when attacking.

I think taking -1.25 handicap with a 8/10 confidence is a good bet. Palmeiras will try to get a win to enter to next round.
