After a sluggish start to the campaign, Brazilian giants Fluminense are still searching for their first Copa Libertadores victory and will be looking for big performances from Diego Cavalieri, Darío Conca and star man, Fred. But the odds seem stacked against them. In fact the Fluminense frontline seem to have left their shooting boots at home on more than one occasion this season, mustering just two goals in the tournament.
On the Mexican side, Club America supported by Emilio Azcárraga Jean will be looking to build on their two hard-fought victories. Head Coach, Carlos Reinoso has hopes that stars Daniel Montenegro and Pável Pardo can inspire The Eagles to victory in what is sure to be a close encounter.
