Last week's games in the Copa Libertadores did not disappoint, and what will come in the next three days will be decisive to determine the names of the teams that will earn a spot in the semis.
The battle between two Argentine teams is still up for grabs, but the rest of the games had Brazilian clubs dominating the opposition. At this point, it is safe to say that teams from that country are set to dominate the semis, but they must prove their worth and finish the job this week.
Let us guide you through this week's fixtures, so you can get a better idea on what to expect from each gaame as we head into the final matches of the last eight stage.
Internacional vs Bolívar: The red and white team from Brazil claimed a narrow but deserved one-nil lead during their visit in Bolivia, and the team wearing light blue will be facing a mammoth task, as they have only won two of their fifteen fixtures when playing Copa Libertadores matches in Brazil. Meanwhile, Internacional have never lost a home game in this competition when facing Bolivian clubs, with three wins and one draw for the red and white. Will this be a sign of things to come?

Racing vs Boca Juniors: The first match between these clubs ended in a goalless draw, meaning that there will be everything to play for in this game. Speaking of home and away games for these clubs in the current Copa edition, Racing are unbeaten in the tournament with three wins and one draw, which came against Flamengo in the Group stage. On the other hand, Boca Juniors have lost once, drawn twice, and have only won once away from home, which may hinder their chances of success in this fixture. Boca needed penalties to eliminate Nacional in the previous round, and it is safe to say they will try to avoid such a definition in this game.

Palmeiras vs Deportivo Pereira: The two-time Copa Libertadores winners with Abel Ferreira at the helm claimed a commanding 4-0 lead in the first leg of this tie, leaving Deportivo Pereira with almost no chance to go through. Palmeiras will try to show their dominance over Colombian teams in this competition, where they have won their five games against Colombian opposition. Meanwhile, Deportivo Pereira will be playing their first clash against a team from Brazil in that country...and considering the result from the first leg, it could be their last in this tournament.

Olimpia vs Fluminense: The Brazilian side did not hesitate in their home game against Olimpia, which came with a 2-0 win for the Tricolor. Now, things could get tougher for the Brazilian club, as Olimpia have won all four games for them in this tournament when playing at home, which should be a good test for the team coached by Fernando Diniz. Surprisingly, Olimpia have won their two home games against Fluminense, one in 2013 and the other one in 2022, which means that "Flu" will be looking for their first-ever win when facing Olimpia at Estadio Manuel Ferreira.
