Copa Sudamericana betting and spectator preview: River Plate and Cuiabá meet at Estadio Centenario to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
These teams have little in common geographically as Cuiabá have to travel 2700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Cuiabá could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie A game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Sao Paulo. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
