Overview
- The Group E opener kicks off at 21:00 local time in Vicente López with Chilean referee Piero Maza, and live TV is exclusive to Fox Sports with streaming via Flow, DGO, Telecentro Play and Disney+ Premium.
- Platense qualified after winning the 2025 Torneo Apertura, the club’s first top-flight title.
- Both teams arrive out of form, with Platense winless in six domestic games and Corinthians without a victory in eight across Brazil’s league and state competition.
- Corinthians travel without forward Memphis Depay because of a muscle injury, reducing coach Fernando Diniz’s attacking choices.
- The match is the clubs’ first-ever meeting, and betting odds give the Brazilian side a slight edge.
