Cuiaba is second placed in group G and a victory in this game would be very instrumental to their qualification for the knockout round. Deportivo Garcilaso on the other hand is third placed and a defeat here means the end of the road for them in the Copa Sudamericana this season.

The Brazilian team, Cuiaba, is yet to win a League game since the start of the Brazil Serie A earlier this month as they have suffered four consecutive league defeats. Their journey in the Copa Sudamericana has a different dynamic as they are yet to lose a game in the Copa Sudamericana with two victories and two draws from four games played. They are currently second placed with just two points behind Group G leaders Lanus and a victory here solidifies their qualification to the knockout round. Cuiaba will aim for the win here or in the worst case a draw, 

Deportivo Garcilaso's challenges in the domestic league continue as they are 14th place in the Peruvian league table. In the Copa Sudamericana, Garcilaso started their journey with a 3-2 victory over Metropolitanos in the opening game but dipped in form since then as they have failed to secure another victory. They have played four games in the Copa Sudamericana with a win, a draw, and two losses from the four games played. They are currently third placed in Group G with for points behind their opponents Cuiaba and a draw or defeat means the end of the road for Garcilaso. 

Their first leg encounter ended in a 1-1 draw.

Cuiaba require only a draw here to seal their qualification to the knockout round and with the help of their home fans and the current poor form of the opponent Garcilasso, they should get it. Their first-leg encounter was a tough one as both teams each got a player sent off and the game had quite a number of attempts on goals. In this case, our prediction is a win or draw for Cuiaba as we believe in their ability to deliver a win or a draw on Thursday.
