Sao Paulo can maintain their narrow lead atop the Group D table when they travel to Estadio Alejandro Villanueva on Tuesday to face Alianza Lima on matchday four of the Copa Libertadores campaign.
Last month, the Peruvians moved up to third in that group thanks to a 3-2 victory at home to Talleres, putting them three points below Soberano who defeated Libertad 2-0.
We say: Alianza Lima 0-1 Sao Paulo
Despite all of the injuries Sao Paulo have incurred this season, someone always seems to step up for them, and their depth should power them to another victory on Tuesday.

Atletico Bucaramanga resume Copa Libertadores action this Tuesday, looking to tighten their grip at the summit as they welcome Racing Club to Estadio Americo Montanini for a matchday 4 encounter.
The Leopards aim to stay unbeaten and extend their lead in Group E, where they sit one point clear of their second-placed visitors, who are tied on four points with Fortaleza in third.
We say: Atletico Bucaramanga 1-1 Racing Club
This encounter has all the makings of a closely fought battle, where moments of precision and tactical awareness are likely to determine the final outcome.
Racing’s recent knack for edging out narrow wins suggests they will stay true to their measured approach, but Bucaramanga’s home comforts should count for something, so a share of the spoils looks the most likely outcome.

Fortaleza will welcome Colo-Colo to the Arena Castelao on matchday four of the Copa Libertadores group stage, seeking a crucial victory that could lift them into the top two of Group E.
The reverse fixture was overshadowed by chaotic scenes at the Estadio Monumental David Arellano, where Colo-Colo supporters invaded the pitch midway through the second half, resulting in match being subsequently abandoned and Fortaleza awarded a 3-0 win by Conmebol, marking their first points of the campaign.
We say: Fortaleza 1-1 Colo-Colo
Both sides come into the match struggling for form, with Fortaleza winless in seven and Colo-Colo managing just one win in their last seven outings.
Neither team has shown enough consistency or cutting edge to suggest a clear winner, which is why we are predicting a hard-fought draw.

We say: San Antonio Bulo Bulo 1-1 Penarol
Given the importance of this fixture, both sides are likely to approach this contest with caution, and considering the defensive solidity of the away side, this encounter could end in a 1-1 draw.
