The 2022 edition of the Copa Libertadores has left fans quite a few surprises, starting with the exits of some of the title contenders in the earlier stages of the tournament. Now, with only eight teams from two countries left, the competition will get even tougher and surprises might be decisive when it comes to naming the winners of the competition.
Defending champions Palmeiras are still in contention to make a three-pear, but Brasileirao sides such as Corinthians and Flamengo will be tough rivals to beat for the defending champions in an eventual championship tie. As for the Argentine clubs, Vélez and Estudiantes seem to have the best shot at trying to steal the title away from their Brazilian counterparts, while Talleres de Córdoba seems like the biggest underdog left in the tournament.
Let's have a look at how the Quarterfinals will be played. The matches have been organized in chronological order.
Corinthians vs Flamengo - The all-Brazilian clash could be one of the most interesting of the entire tournament. The Timao will welcome the red-and-black side trying to score their first goal of the KO stage, after earning their spot in the last eight with consecutive goalless draws against Boca Juniors, which they defeated in a penalty shootout. As for Flamengo, the team led by Dorival Junior convincingly earned their spot in this stage with an emphatic 8-1 win against Deportes Tolima, which included a 7-0 win at home against the Colombians. Will we see a title contender in this edition of the Classico do Povo?

Atlético Mineiro vs Palmeiras - The second tie featuring Brazilian teams will include the defending champions making the trip to face Atlético Mineiro. The hosts have been living complicated weeks, as they fired former boss Antonio Mohamed, who was replaced by former Santos' skipper Cuca. The team's narrow win against Emelec in the previous round may have been one of the reasons why Mohamed was fired, and Cuca will try to start his run in the continental competition on a high note.
As for the defending champions, the Verdao enter this stage of the tournament with a perfect record of eight wins, scoring 33 goals and conceding only three times. Mineiro will need a magical evening from their players to take the lead in this tie, especially since Palmeiras have been quite consistent both at home and on the road.

Vélez Sarsfield vs Talleres de Córdoba - The first matchup between Argentine clubs will feature former winners Vélez and Talleres. The team with the V on its chest will welcome Pedro Caixinha's club trying to keep the momentum that saw them eliminating River Plate in the previous round. Meanwhile, Talleres will also want to prove their worth after reaching this stage by ousting Colón a month ago. This could be the most uneven matchup of them all, which could result in a tight and well-fought game between two combative teams from Argentina.

Athletico-PR vs Estudiantes - The only matchup not featuring teams from the same country will be a delight to watch. The Brazilian hosts made it this far by eliminating the higher-seeded Libertad, while Estudiantes made their home-field advantage count with a convincing win over Fortaleza. While their performance in the competition has been quite different, it seems that Estudiantes will really have to struggle to beat the team led by none other than Luiz Felipe Scolari, one of the most successful coaches in Brazilian football history and who is looking to win his third Copa Libertadores crown, all of them with different teams.
