Probable starting lineups – Group E Copa Sudamericana 2024

In this way, as has already been announced by the press, it is estimated that Danubio and Ameliano will repeat a large part of the star team. The 2024 Copa Sudamericana has already shown on its first date that, despite the favoritism of some clubs, surprises can occur. The first of them was made by Always Ready (Bolivia), who beat the always complicated Independiente de Medellín (Colombia) 2-0. But that match was not the only one that impacted the fans of this competition: Cruzeiro (Brazil) and Universidad Católica de Ecuador were also protagonists. The Andeans got a 1-1 draw against all the experts’ predictions.

Another of the curiosities of this match is that the two teams use the same formation to set out their commitments: the classic 4-5-1. Both Saralegui and Sarabia, Danubio and Ameliano coaches respectively, apply defensive strategies to achieve results. Therefore, it is believed that the first half of the match will be marked by rough play in the middle of the field. During the second half, meanwhile, both clubs should have a good number of arrivals at the opposing goal.

Danube’s initial 11

According to what happened on the first date of Group E of the Cup, the Uruguayan team will repeat most of its starters. The good play shown in some moments of the match and the corrections after the draw in the local tournament will ensure that the eleven is maintained. In this way, if no last minute injury or unexpected event occurs, Danubio’s formation would be as follows:

Goicoechea in the arch ; Ancheta, Ferreira, Fracchia (captain) and Saravia in defense ; Romero, Lewis; Sanseviero,

Fernández and Rossi in midfield and the center forward Leyes (4-2-3-1).

Sportivo Ameliano’s starting 11

Contrary to what happens with Danubio, the Paraguayan team has the obligation to win in order to get out of the last places. As in the local tournament, they need to add three and overcome the bad moment they are experiencing both in score and in play. The main problem that the blue and white club has had is its poor performance, as it cannot demonstrate what the coach wants. Amiliano’s formation, then, should be this:

Rossi in goal; González, Patiño, Báez and Martinich in defense; Vera, Contrera (captain), Maíz, Silvio Torales and Samudio in the middle; Richard Torales on offense.
