Penarol will host Atletico Mineiro at the Estadio Campeon del Siglo on Tuesday in another round of the 2024 Copa Libertadores campaign. The home side have had mixed results in their continental campaign this season and now find themselves second in the table with six points from an obtainable 12.
They beat Caracas 1-0 in their last group game, with Guzman Rodriguez scoring the only goal of the match midway through the first half. Penarol will advance to the knockout stages of the tournament with a win on Tuesday provided Rosario Central fail to win elsewhere.
Atletico Mineiro, meanwhile, have enjoyed a brilliant run of results in the Copa Libertadores and will guarantee top spot with a point this week after winning all four of their previous group outings. They beat Rosario Central 1-0 last time out, with former Bayer Leverkusen man Paulinho scoring the game-winner three minutes from normal time.
