  May 15, 2025 Once Caldas - GV San José Estadio Palogrande, Manizales, Colombia On Thursday, May 15, 2025, Colombian Once Caldas will face Bolivian GV San José in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with different playing styles promises an interesting confrontation and the possibility of extending several remarkable streaks. Once Caldas has won its last three matches in the 2025 CONMEBOL Sudamericana, the best winning streak for the "Albos" in a single continental competition. Moreover, after winning three of their matches in the current Sudamericana, they will seek to reach four victories in a single edition of a CONMEBOL tournament for the first time since the Libertadores they conquered in 2004 (6 wins). The Colombian side thus has an opportunity to return to numbers from their most glorious era.

Boston River has the youngest average starting lineup in the 2025 CONMEBOL...

  May 8, 2025 GV San José - Fluminense On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Bolivian GV San José will face Brazilian Fluminense in a return match of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage. The duel offers an interesting confrontation between teams with different playing styles and a specific history of mutual encounters. Fluminense has won five of their seven games against Bolivian opposition in CONMEBOL competitions, including the crushing 5-0 victory over GV San José in the first phase of the group in 2025. However, the Brazilians should be cautious – the Bolivians managed to defeat "Flu" in the remaining two matches, both of which were played on home soil. The "Tricolor" from Rio de Janeiro is experiencing their longest unbeaten run away from home in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana (4 matches, 2 wins, 2 draws), equaling a similar streak from 2009 (2 wins, 2 draws). Fluminense will be looking to extend this streak to five matches for the first time in the club's history in...
