Two clubs chasing Copa Libertadores glory will do battle today in a match between Cruzeiro and Huracan. The group-stage clash scheduled for 8 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on Fox Deportes.
Both clubs enter today's match tied atop Group 3 with one point. Huracan's 2-2 draw with Mineros, however, is enough to see the club hold the tiebreaker.
What They're Saying
Cruzeiro manager Marcelo Oliveira (via Goal): "Tuesday is a very special day for us. We empathize without the difficulties that you all know and need to win at home. The Copa Libertadores is essential. For this to happen, the team is well prepared, rested and now we work until Tuesday."
Huracan manager Nestor Apuzzo (via Ole): "The personnel is put aside. What's important is the group. We have to get used to the Copa [Libertadores] and understand that no game is easy. We have to play a good game and put forth a good effort."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Cruzeiro's primary attacking threat remains Leandro Damiao. In four appearances this season, the 25-year-old has four goals. Last season with Santos, he finished with five goals in 13 appearances. He'll look to continue his rising form on Tuesday.
Cruzeiro's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Fabio; Mayke, Leo, Andre, Mena; Williams, Henry, Arrascaeta, Marquinhos; Willian, Damiao
Huracan's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Diaz; Balbi, Dominguez, Mancinelli, Nervo; Romero, Toranzo, Villarruel, Vismara; Abila, Torassa
