For the third qualifying round of the Copa Libertadores they will compete Independiente del Valle and Gremio in the neutral stage Defensores del Chaco, due to Covid -19. The games are doubles and a match will follow in Brazil.
In the last phase of the qualifiers, Independiente del Valle overcame the obstacle of Union Espanyola. It may have lost 1-0 to Chile, but at home it pulled out its gun and achieved a great 6-2 victory, qualifying. In the domestic league, it comes from a draw away from home against Barcelona Guayaquil 2-2, in a game that was found to be leading 0-2 at halftime break. In the standings it is just one point behind the top. Full will line up in the first game against Gremio.
Gremio, on the other hand, qualified against Ayacucho with two wins 1-2 away and 6-1 at home. Clearly superior to its opponent in all areas, it left no room for doubt. For today's match, there were problems with the team instead of Ecuador playing in Paraguay, since three members of the mission were found positive in Covid -19. These are two footballers who are left out, Wanderson and Vitcor. Defensively, he is expected to line up in the first match, as a draw is enough.
First game for both teams and they are expected to play conservatively. It will be difficult for the game to escape the tie. This will be my choice.
