Round 5 of Copa Libertadores in Group A is scheduled this Wednesday as Palmeiras of Brazil is set to host Emelec from Ecuador at Allianz Parque.
The Brazilian side have the highest points with 12 in Group A as they have won all 4 games played so far. They have an incredible goals to conceding ratio here with netting 20 times overall while conceding just twice. Palmeiras have already qualified for Play Offs after winning against Independiente Petrolero by 5-0 previously.
In Serie A, Palmeiras is at the 9th position on the table with 9 points from 6 matches. They come into this encounter after a 2-0 win against RB Bragantino in their previous league encounter. That win marked their 5th game to remain unbeaten in the league.
On the other side, Emelec is just below them in Copa Libertadores group standings, but with only 5 points from 4 matches. They won and lost each game while drawing twice. Their main aim now will be to preserve the Play Off spot from Dep. Tachira who lies below with just a point deficit.
Emelec is in the Ecuador Liga Pro with 22 points in hand after playing 13 games. The visitors lost their previous league fixture by 0-2 over Orense.
