A needy Cali America will host Porto Alegre International on Tuesday for the fifth day of Group E of the Libertadores Cup, in which the Colombians play their last chance to qualify and the Brazilians arrive with seven casualties as a result of the COVID-19 and suspensions.
The hosts come into the match in third place with four units, three less than the visitors, who share the leadership of the zone with Guild, while the last position is occupied by Catholic University, with the same points of the Colombian club but worse goal difference.

The ‘Red Devils’, led by Argentine Juan Cruz Real, aim to take the three points although they will have to show a better image than the one left last week, when they drew 1-1 at the stadium Pascual Guerrero de Cali with the Universidad Católica, and the previous Saturday in the 1-0 defeat against Deportes Tolima.
To achieve his mission, the coach will have all the players who rested against Tolima, among which the winger stands out. Duvan vergara, the most destabilizing of its directed; the veteran scorer Adrian Ramos, with many ups and downs in his performance, and the Argentine central Juan Pablo Segovia.
It is also expected that the members of the trident in the center of the field who gave him the Colombian league title last year will be from the game: Rafael Carrascal, Luis Paz and Carlos Sierra, as well as the Chilean Rodrigo Ureña, converted to side by Cruz Real.
Meanwhile, Internacional arrived in Colombia with many casualties for this game, some due to COVID-19, others for suspensions and one, that of veteran midfielder Andrés D’Alessandro, for “personal matters.”

The coach’s team Eduardo ‘Chacho’ Coudet Nor will it have Rodrigo Dourado, Uendel, Pedro Henrique and Rodinei, all of them positive for covid-19, or midfielder Edenilson and left-back Moisés, who are still serving suspension due to the pitched battle that took place in the match on the second day against Guild.
However, the Argentine will recover the midfielders Patrick and Johnny, both recovered from muscular discomfort in the right thigh.
The ‘Colorado’ does not arrive at its best either, since it accumulates three consecutive games without winning, two of them in the league and one in the Libertadores, which even led him to give up the leadership of the Brazilian Championship to Atlético Mineiro, led by another Argentine , Jorge Sampaoli. Coincidentally, the last match the Porto Alegre team won was against América on September 16, an intense match that ended 4-3 at the Beira Río stadium.
