Academia Puerto Cabello 🇻🇪

They had to eliminate Monagas to reach the group stage.

Things are not looking great at the moment.

They sit only ninth in the local league, with three wins, four draws, and three losses.

Eduardo Saragó lost center-back Sema Velásquez to a ruptured right Achilles tendon.

Padrón and Linares are also injured.

The lineup has not been announced.

Galo are in good form after two straight wins in the Brasileirão.

And the focus is on the league, at least for now.

Ruan, Renan Lodi, Alan Franco, Victor Hugo, and Hulk did not even travel.

Alan Minda is in the medical department.

Important opportunities for Cissé, Scarpa, and Dudu, for example.
