Fluminense vs Platense

Fluminense arrive at Estadio Ciudad de Vicente López holding a 2-0 lead from the first leg, meaning Platense need at least two goals just to force penalties, and three to complete a stunning turnaround into their first-ever Copa Libertadores semi-final. Domestically, Platense have stumbled into this decider, winless in nine home matches with two draws and a loss in their last three outings. Fluminense arrive in better rhythm, unbeaten in five with three wins, though their away form remains shaky. The Brazilians are missing Hulk due to a legal impediment, plus Samuel Xavier, Matheus Reis, and John Kennedy. Platense are also missing five regulars, including Victor Cuesta, leaving forward Nicolas Retamar to lead the fightback up top. Given the two-goal cushion and Fluminense's edge in the tie so far, expect a nervy night for the hosts but not a miracle comeback. Our prediction: 1-2
