Nacional will receive Alianza Lima at Parque Central today for the last matchday of the Copa CONMEBOL Libertadores 2020 trying to beat the Peruvian side and snatch the first place of the group from Racing Club. It will be the second meeting between these two teams in this edition of the South American competition, with the Uruguayn side taking a 1-0 away victory in their previous encounter. Check out everything there is to know about this exciting game, such as the match preview, information, storylines, predictions, odds and how to watch it.

The Uruguayan side has only lost one game in this Copa Libertadores edition, against Racing, at home, at the end of September. That is part of the past now and the South American giants will try to do their best against Alianza and see what Estudiantes de Merida can do against Racing to help their cause.

Alianza, on the other hand, currently ranks 4th in Group F of the competition, having racked up only one point, against Estudiantes at home. The Peruvians still have something to fight for this Wednesday and they will try to leave the Libertadores with a win, ruining Nacional’s plans to finish the group stage as leaders.
