América de Cali will face Universidad Católica this Wednesday for the fourth date of the Copa Libertadores. The red team of Cali comes from losing and dreams of succeeding to continue dreaming in this tournament.
More than ‘looking to win’, it is almost an obligation for the American team if they want to go to the second round of the Libertadores. Besides this, you can have a more favorable scenario with the other alternate party: Gremio-Internacional.
Best Scenario: What Serves America
Of course, their main idea is to win, but in addition to that, they must wait for a draw between the two teams and so they would remain: International 8 points, America 6. Gremio 5 and Universidad Católica 3.
With a draw, even the first place in the tournament would remain in his hands, since he still has to face Internacional in Cali and Gremio in Brazil. However, an International victory would also help him to seek that second place, because he would fight it with Gremio.
Worst case scenario: what doesn’t work for you
The worst way to end this Wednesday’s game is with a loss, clearly. However, additional to this would be a Guild victory, which would reach 7 points (same as the International leader). Thus, America would be quite difficult to qualify for the next phase: International 7, Guild 7, Catholic University 6 and America 3.
In part, a draw is bad, but you can continue dreaming. If America ties, it must wait or prefer that Internacional beat Gremio or, ultimately, there is a tie, in order to stay two points behind and continue to depend on itself. It is one of the most fought groups!
