The 65th edition of CONMEBOL's Copa Libertadores is entering its final stretch for the group stage, and after three weeks, it is safe to say that some of the favorites will need to go an extra mile to prove their worth and in some cases, fight for their spot in the next round.
Contrary to what most could believe, there has only been a handful of teams that has been able to win their full list of matches so far. That list includes the surprising Bolívar, the talented River Plate, and the enigmatic Atlético Mineiro. The rest of the lot has shared points all across South America, which keeps the race for the KO stage spots wide open.
This week's matches could see those three teams sealing their place in the next round, while others like Millonarios, San Lorenzo, and Peñarol will leave everything out there to keep their title dreams alive.
As usual, things will kick off on Tuesday, a day when six matches will be held. In the meantime, there will be five matches on Wednesday, considering that Huachipato's clash has been postponed. Lastly, things on week four will come to a close on Thursday with four fixtures.
Before we go any further, let's have a look at how the groups are shaping up prior to the second half of the group stage in the 2024 Copa Libertadores.
