Copa Libertadores: Huachipato x Gremio, Match Preview, Odds and Predictions(05/06/2024)

Huachipato plays Gremio at Estadio CAP on Wednesday to advance to the Copa Libertadores' next round.

While the visitors can maintain their chances of qualifying if they win here, the hosts have one game remaining in the group stage, and a victory here would enable them to rise to the top position in Group C.

Huachipato x Gremio Team News

Huachipato is worried about the health of Chilean attacker Cris Martinez, who was injured and had to be replaced in the last game against Estudiantes.

Maximiliano Rodriguez should, again, lead the way, having established his account in the tournament the previous time.

Gonzalo Montes, a crucial offensive midfielder, should be back in the starting lineup after serving a suspension for the last game.

With Cristian Pavon out for a few days due to a thigh injury, Pedro Geromel, Andre Henrique, Lucas Mila, and Jhonata Robert all having varied degrees of ailments that are likely to keep them out until next month, Gremio may have up to five players out injured going into this game.

Diego Costa missed the last league game because of a suspension, but he should be back in the starting lineup to spearhead the assault.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

Leading the MLS regular season, Inter Miami has won seven games and drew three for a club-record 10-match run. They extended their unbeaten run to double digits with a 2-1 victory against Vancouver Whitecaps last week.

But that run suddenly stopped on Wednesday night when an Atlanta United team that had lost nine league games in a row stunned the Herons at home, clinically countering their hosts and winning 3-1 in Fort Lauderdale.

Miami dominated possession but was far from their spectacular best, and Tata Martino's team could not alter the game's tide. This worries the Argentinean coach since captain Lionel Messi and several other important players will soon leave for international service.

Messi scored midweek and is now tied with colleague Luis Suarez on 11 M.L.S. goals. Still, he will want to resume his winning ways before appearing in Argentina's two friendlies in June to prepare for the Copa America.

Despite a setback in their confidence, Messi's Inter team is still leading the Eastern Conference since Cincinnati lost; however, the Herons have played one more game and are only up by one point.

Following a record-breaking inaugural season in 2023, St Louis City is looking for another trip to the MLS playoffs. However, they have yet to duplicate the brilliance of last year and are presently stuck in mid-table mediocrity.

After losing three straight, the Missouri team dropped to 11th in the Western Conference and is behind in the hunt for a playoff spot.

St Louis lost 3-1 to Cincinnati on Sunday, their second loss in three days. Then, in a midweek loss to Seattle Sounders, who rose above Bradley Carnell's team, a lack of accuracy in the final third cost them dearly.

Tomas Totland pulled one back late on after the hosts lost two in four minutes halfway through the second half at CityPark, but they could not find an equalizer.

Now, City takes on Inter Miami in Florida; having not won, drawn, or lost on the road all season, they will go south with hope rather than expectation.
