The draw for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores will be held next Monday (2), starting at 12 PM (Brasília time).
But the matchups for the Sudamericana playoffs ARE ALREADY SET without the need for the balls to work.
The regulations indicated that only the first place of each Sudamericana group would secure a direct spot in the round of 16.
Meanwhile, each second place would need to face a team that finished third in their Libertadores group.
And these matchups were defined thanks to the performance of each of the 16 teams.
The team with the best performance among those who finished second in their Sudamericana group would face the worst third place from the Libertadores.
And so on.
Mushuc Runa (ECU), Huracán, Universidad Católica (ECU), Fluminense, Independiente, Godoy Cruz, Lanús, and Cienciano led their respective groups.
And they are just waiting.
📊 The classification of each "pot" is as follows:
Second places in the Sudamericana:
Grêmio - 12 points and four goal difference
Once Caldas - 12 points and two goal difference
Atlético Mineiro - 9 points and five goal difference
Palestino (CHI) - 9 points and zero goal difference
América de Cali - 8 points and two goal difference
Vasco - 8 points and zero goal difference
