Wednesday will be a key day in Group D of the Copa Libertadores. River will play against Fluminense, a team that will try to secure their place in the last 16 at a Monumental that will be packed with 86,000 people. However, in the same group, The Strongest and Sporting Cristal will also be playing their final game with the dream of progressing to the next round, and the fans in Núñez will be keeping a close eye on them.

Once Martin Demichelis' side have finished their game against Fernando Diniz's side, the match between The Strongest and Cristal will kick off in La Paz. The local team will try to take advantage of the altitude of the Hernando Siles (they have already beaten River 3-1 and Fluminense 1-0 there) to overcome the Peruvian team that, if they lose, will be eliminated from the Cup, while the team coached by Pampa Biaggio would reach nine points. If this were to happen, River would have to have beaten Fluminense.

For their part, the team coached by Tiago Nunes knows that the obligation to win at altitude puts them in an extreme situation. That is why they will be desperate to take all three points, which would take them to seven points and keep them in contention for a place in the last 16.

However, we must not neglect the fact that Sporting Cristal don’t have big issues with altitudes. In Peru they have to travel very often to stadium at high altitudes. Sporting Cristal won the last two transfer matches against Binacional and Huancayo, respectively at 3300m and at 3800m.

Let’s back Sporting Cristal.

周三将是解放者杯D组的一个关键比赛日。河床将对阵弗鲁米嫩塞，这支球队将在挤满86000人的纪念碑球场努力确保他们在16强的位置。然而，在同一小组中，最强者和水晶体育也将带着晋级下一轮的梦想进行他们的最后一场比赛，客场球迷将密切关注着他们。

在德米凯利斯的河床结束与费尔南多-迪尼斯的弗卢米嫩塞的比赛后，最强者和水晶体育的比赛将在拉巴斯开场。当地球队将试图利用埃尔南多-西莱斯球场的海拔优势（他们已经在那里以3-1和1-0击败了河队和弗鲁米嫩塞）来战胜秘鲁队，后者如果输球，将被淘汰出杯赛，而由阿根廷人比亚乔执教的球队将达到9分。如果他们做到这一点，河床事先必须要击败弗鲁米嫩塞。

蒂亚戈-努内斯执教的水晶体育则知道，在高海拔地区获胜的义务使他们处于一个极端的情况。这就是为什么他们会不顾一切地全取3分，这将使他们的积分达到7分，并保持他们争夺16强席位的可能性。

我们决不能忽视这样一个事实：水晶体育在海拔方面没有大问题。 在秘鲁，他们必须经常前往高海拔地区的体育场。 水晶体育在过去的两场客场比赛中对阵比尼亚尔和万卡约都赢了，分别在3300米和3800米海拔。

让我们支持水晶体育。
