Can Alianza Lima compete with Atletico Mineiro?

After separation 30 game winless streak In the CONMEBOL LibertadoresAnd Lima Alliance Wednesday (7:30pm) faces a new test in Belo Horizonte against Atlético Mineiroan opponent who can be judged for getting closer and closer to the round of 16.

And it is that Eduardo Codete’s team lost their first two matches, against Libertad at home and against Atlético Paranense as visitors, so He must win for a team Chishu SalasAnd Otherwise, it could be complicated in their goal of qualifying for the next round of the cup.

The amazing thing about Gallic is that he has the potential to put together one of the four best teams in Brazil and has a coach with important scripts like Chacho Coudet, but It has suffered a major stumbling block in recent weeks, piling up four matches without a win until it beat Atletico Paranense 2-1 last Saturday in the third date of the First Division in Brazil.

If Alianza Lima can boast of having players with pasts in Europe or important clubs on the continent like Christian Cueva, Carlos Zambrano, Santiago Garcia, Andres Andrade or Hernan Barcoshis rival in service has a deluxe led squad Hulk, Paulinho, Pedrino, Eduardo Vargas, Mariano, Rodrigo Battaglia, Mauricio Lemos, Jemerson and Christian Pavonas well as players adapting to their manager’s game model such as Edinelson, Patrick, Rodrigo Saravia and Bruno Fox.

Despite the huge squad he has, the Frenchman is not yet at his best level with Caudete, also due to the number of injuries he has had, and he can take advantage of that. An alliance that has demonstrated the ability to compete, knowing how to endure consequences and hierarchy to get to the right moments.

The 30 Games Heavy Backpack has been removed without winning, Guillermo Salas’ team faces the trophy with determination to continue making history And what better than in Brazil and against an opponent in the low hours and the absence of Paulinho and Mariano and the doubts of Saravia, Patrick, Lemos and Khmerson.

A hypothetical win or draw may increase the chances of qualification to Alianza Limawho still has two matches at home, against Mineiro himself and Libertad, to get a ticket to the 16th Libertadores round, which he has not achieved since the 2010 edition.
