This Copa Libertadores\u00a0game brings two of the biggest teams in Brazil and Argentina together with the Argentinians making a tricky trip down to Brazil after falling to a 1-0 loss at home to their host.<\/p>\n
A win for Santos would help them put one foot in the next round.<\/p>\n
They lost their first game of the competition to\u00a0Real Garcilaso, however, they have recovered well to record wins against Estudiantes and Nacional to move to the top of group 6.<\/p>\n
Santos fell to a defeat at Bahia in their last league games, however, they won their last home game 2-0 against Ceara and that should keep their confidence high ahead of this match. They also tend to be strong in this competition with 5 wins from their last 6 home games.<\/p>\n
Estudiantes come into this game very low on confidence as they have been struggling both locally and in the continent. They lost their last game against\u00a0Belgrano, although they made whole scale changes, it seems not to matter who play these days, they have just found it incredibly had to get the results.<\/p>\n
They have lost 3 of their last 4 games, scoring just once in the process.<\/p>\n
They are currently second on the table with four points, yet it seems as though they would still be eliminated from the group stage just like last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
