Gus Poyet’s team has a certain advantage over the two challengers for the second seed, but its upcoming match will be crucial. Despite their worrying form, Atlético Nacional still have chances of progressing in the tournament.

The Colombian giants head to this game holding an awful four-game streakwithout grabbing a single win. Last week, they dropped a point against Argentinos Juniors, who claimed the victory with a last-gasp goal from Emanuel Herrera. However, Guimaraes’ boys can get into the last 16 if they defeat Los Cruzados.
