We are only eight games away from the start of the group stage in the Copa Libertadores, but before we get there, we need to know the last four teams that will earn a spot in the tournament.
Last month saw some of the best teams in South America being eliminated from the top club tournament in the region, leaving the luckiest and consistent teams out there with a spot in one of the four final matchups.
Teams such as Aucas, Defensor Sporting, Atlético Nacional, Godoy Cruz or El Nacional will not be able to participate in continental tournaments as a result of their early exits, leaving a few bunch of teams with chances to reach the group stage.
With all that in mind, let us have a look at the main topics to cover for this week's games.
