Copa Libertadores: Love, Guerrero tipped to shine
Corinthians coach Adenor Leonardo Bacchi has backed the strike pairing of Paolo Guerrero and Vagner Love to come good.
Guerrero and Love have only scored two goals between them in 13 matches in all competitions this season after Saturday's goalless draw at home to Red Bull Brasil.
Both goals have come from Peruvian striker Guerrero, with Love yet to find the net since leaving Shandong Luneng at the start of the year.
But Corinthians boss Bacchi is backing the pair to come good as the Group Two leaders bid to make it three wins from as many games against lowly Danubio in Uruguay.
"Vagner is improving all the time. I asked him to play like Flamengo, when he was with Adriano and move behind Guerrero," Bacchi said. "I'm still finding the best way for them.
"The Vagner option playing with Guerrero was already much better than in the other match. He gives you options, create real opportunities in these drives."
Corinthians are three points clear of Brazilian rivals Sao Paulo and defending champions San Lorenzo, who are on the road at Estadio Cicero Pompeu de Toledo on Wednesday.
Santa Fe and Boca Juniors are also looking to preserve their 100 per cent records in the premier South American club competitions during the week.
