After four of the six matches in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores 2023, River He is in an unexpected position: last in his zone, D, which he shares with Fluminense, The Strongest and Sporting Cristal. A really complex situation, but one in which they still have chances to advance to the next round (and even as the leader of the group, although for that they would need two wins).
Martín Demichelis’s team is still dependent on itself to advance to the round of 16 and will play at home in its next two games, once morest Fluminense and The Strongest.
If River wins the two remaining games, it will not depend on any other result. There El Más Grande would add ten points in total and neither The Strongest nor Sporting Cristal might reach it. But if they draw or lose once morest Fluminense on the next date, you will have to use the calculator and it will depend on the other results.
Ai draws once morest Fluminense on the next day and there is also equality between The Strongest and Sporting Cristal, the definition will remain for the last date. River would be forced to beat The Strongest and will need Sporting Cristal not to beat Fluminense. If that happens, both would equalize at 8 points and the classification will depend on the goal difference: today the Peruvians have -3, while River has -4.
If River draws once morest Fluminense and Sporting Cristal beats The Strongest in La Paz, the picture gets more complicated. The Millionaire must beat the Bolivian team on the last date (so he would reach 8 points) and hope that the Peruvian team (already with 7 units) lose once morest Fluminense in Brazil. If Cristal ties and reaches 8 points, once more the definition will depend on the goal difference.
If River draws once morest Fluminense and the one who wins in Bolivia is The Strongest, they will be eliminated one date before the end of Group D. They would be placed third, with one point more than Sporting Cristal, and if they maintain that position following the last date they would go to the South American Cup.
In the event of a defeat once morest Fluminense on the next date, the classification would depend on a miracle, but there would still be some chances.
