Atlético, Grêmio and Inter can stamp their passport to the Libertadores round of 16 on Tuesday night. Besides them, Flamengo, Palmeiras and Santos are also close to the vacancy. São Paulo is currently the only Brazilian representative outside the qualification zone.

Atlético host Jorge Wilstermann at 9:30 pm on Tuesday. One draw is enough. But Hurricane, of course, is going after victory to secure first place in Group C and, in theory, catch a weaker opponent in the round of 16. According to the Infobola website, by the mathematician Tristão García, Atlético has a 92% chance of qualifying.
– I consider it essential to occupy the first place. There are six points left to play. We will fight for three and, if possible, for six in these rounds – said coach Eduardo Barros.
The Gre-Nal duo also enter the field on Tuesday. Grêmio receives the Catholic University at 7:15 pm and Inter visits América de Cali at 9:30 pm. Internacional surpasses Grêmio on goal difference (3-1), but both have a 79% chance. They need “only” one win tonight to confirm qualification.

Palmeiras is the closest Brazilian club to the venue, according to Tristão García. The Luxembourgish team has 10 points (six ahead of Bolívar, third place) and a 99% chance. And the club will face Bolívar at 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday, at Allianz Parque. Then Palmeiras will play another game at home, against Tigre’s bluff.
Flamengo is second in Group A, with nine points, but is also close to the place, with 75%. The Rio club plays two games in Maracaná, starting with Independiente del Valle, at 9:30 p.m. this Wednesday. If Fla wins and Junior Barranquilla does not beat Barcelona-EQU, Domenéc Torrent’s team wins the classification this Wednesday.
Santos is another Brazilian with one foot in the round of 16. Peixe leads Group G with 10 points. And Cuca’s team visits Olímpia, third place, at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. A tie secures the place. Santos may qualify even with a loss, but in this case it will depend on Defense’s defeat against Delfín.
São Paulo in search of a miracle
Of the seven Brazilians competing in the group stage, São Paulo is the only one outside the qualifying zone. With a 14% chance, Fernando Diniz’s team will face River Plate at 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday, in Avellaneda. Even if they win, the Tricolor should go third, since the Argentines have a great advantage in goal difference (11-0).
A defeat for São Paulo in the fourth would mean the elimination of Libertadores. And the tie would make Tricolor dependent on a miracle. He would have to beat Binacional at home, wait for River Plate to lose to LDU in Argentina and still take a difference of 11 goals in balance for the current runner-up of Libertadores.
