Tue May 06 23:50:00 UTC 2025: ## São Paulo Aims for Libertadores Victory in Lima
**Lima, Peru –** São Paulo, currently leading Group D in the Conmebol Libertadores, faces Alianza Lima on Tuesday at 7 PM Brasília time. A win would significantly boost their chances of advancing to the knockout stage. São Paulo arrives with a record of two wins and a draw (seven points), while Alianza Lima sits in third place with four points (one win, one draw, one loss).
The match, taking place at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium, holds added significance for both teams. São Paulo is looking for their third consecutive away win in the group stage – a feat they’ve never achieved before. Alianza Lima, meanwhile, will be without suspended midfielder Pablo Ceppelini (four-month ban for xenophobic remarks).
São Paulo’s squad benefits from the return of defender Arboleda (recovered from muscle overload) and midfielder Pablo Maia (back after ankle surgery), although both are expected to start on the bench. Oscar remains in Brazil for further physical recovery.
Alianza Lima suffered a recent 1-0 defeat to Cienciano, with star player Paolo Guerrero receiving a red card. Their performance against a strong São Paulo side will be key to their Libertadores aspirations. The game will be broadcast live on [Insert Broadcast Information Here].
