What They're Saying

Nacional manager Alvaro Gutierrez (via La Red 21): "We are all convinced that we can overturn this bad [1-0] result we brought back from Chile. [There are still] tiny, functional details, some movements that we have to fix, but nothing out of this world. These first seven games for us [in the league] will be hard and we expect that it goes well if we have luck like we did last year."

Palestino manager Pablo Guede (via ESPN FC): "It's going to be very complicated. They [Nacional] have to score a goal to tie us and two to win. We intend to play intelligently, without leaving too much open space at the back, protecting a small lead that's of value to us and counterattack."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Palestino's Diego Rosende scored a timely goal in the club's 1-0 victory over Nacional in leg one. It was the 29-year-old's first goal in 45 matches. A defensive presence in the midfield, Rosende will look to control the tempo of the match on Thursday.

Nacional's Projected Lineup (4-1-4-1): Munúa; Diaz, Aja, Santos, Romero; Porras; Pena, Arismendi, Prieto, Fernandez; Alonso

Palestino's Projected Lineup (3-4-3): Melo; Escudero, Lanaro, Diaz; Valenzuela, Rosende, Farias, Vidangossy; Riquelme, Chaves, Valencia
