Argentinos Juniors Preparation and Lineup for Crucial Match Against Fluminense in the Libertadores Round of 16

In Rio de Janeiro since Sunday night, Argentinos Juniors ended their preparation this Monday to face Fluminense this Tuesday, at 7 pm (Brasília time) in Maracanã, for the second leg of the Libertadores round of 16 (in the first match there was a 1-1 tie in Argentina). And the place chosen for training was Flamengo’s CT, tricolor archrival.

Lanzillota enters the goal in place of the suspended Arias, and in defense Minissale replaces Sánchez, who was injured in the play with Marcelo. Coach Gabriel Milito still has a doubt: who will inherit the vacancy of the injured Ávalos? The options are Heredia, who came on for the striker in the game in Argentina, and Verón. There is also the possibility of the team changing formation and giving up the three defenders to play with a line of four defenders, two laterals.

The likely lineup of Argentinos Juniors has: Lanzillotta; Minissale, Di Cesare, Villalba and Bittolo; Cabrera, Redondo, Moyano and Montiel; Gondou and Heredia.

As the first leg ended in a tie, whoever wins at Maracanã will qualify. Any other tie will take the decision to penalties, as there is no longer the rule of who qualified away from home as a tiebreaker. Those who pass the stage will face the winner of the confrontation between Flamengo and Olimpia in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.
