South America's Top Clubs - July 2016

Boca Juniors are the new leaders of the South American club ranking for the month of July 2016. Despite the Argentine league currently being on break, it was the start of the Serie A which brought the teams from Brazil back down to earth. 

Back in June, three Brazilian clubs made up the best four of the table. This has changed dramatically with the top team from Brazil being Palmeiras in eighth a month later. With the restart of the Copa Libertadores in a few days, Boca have all the options to stay on top for a longer period of time by playing a successful semi-final against third placed Independiente del Valle.

The rules if you missed them previously:
For this table, we look at the last 15 results from each team in South America’s leagues and Copa Libertadores/Sudamericana. A win in the league gets you 3 points, a draw 1. Internationally those numbers are doubled to 6 and 2.
