The game is on Thursday, at 6:00 p.m., at La Nueva Olla.

With just over 24 hours until the duel and before the press conference, scheduled for this Thursday at 4:30 p.m., Manolo Jiménez still has doubts about confirming the lineup. The coach will change the team that played and defeated 2 de Mayo 2-0 in Pedro Juan Caballero for the Apertura 2024 Paraguayan soccer tournament, but he maintains one doubt: Federico Carrizo or Juan Manuel Iturbe.
Cerro Porteño: Federico Carrizo or Juan Iturbe
Only one will start to face the Rio Tricolor, which has accumulated a streak of five matches without winning as a visitor among all competitions. Carrizo started against Gallo and assisted for the partial 1-0, the work of Diego Churín, but he did not finish the duel since he was replaced by the Colombian Rafael Carrascal at 54 minutes. For his part, Iturbe entered at 74′ for Cecilio Domínguez.

Wilder Viera, the other change in Cerro Porteño
The other modification, which is practically guaranteed, is Wilder Viera for the young Gabriel Aguayo. The 22-year-old midfielder will be in the game to form a trident of midfielders with Fabrizio Peralta and Jorge Morel. The rest, with Eduardo Brock in the central defense along with Javier Báez and Diego Churín as the only forward, is the same one that won in the Río Parapití last Friday.
The probable formation of Cerro Porteño vs. Fluminense in the 2024 Copa Libertadores
Jean Fernandes; Alan Benitez, Javier Baez, Edward Brock, James Arzamendia; Fabrizio Peralta, Jorge Morel, Wilder Viera; Cecilius Dominguez, Federico Carrizo or John Manuel Iturbe; Diego Son.
