"Returning to Avellaneda seeking what would be a famous Copa Libertadores upset in midweek, La Academia have struggled to find any real stability this year. Watching their Copa Argentina adventure come to an abrupt end earlier in the month as they suffered another 1-0 loss against historic rivals River Plate, Gustavo Costas' camp have won just a pair of their previous six appearances across all competitions. Signing off September with an uninspiring 0-0 stalemate at home against Independiente, Racing Club have also shown some extended issues in the final third."
"Racing Club Team News Both still dealing with respective knee injuries, Racing Club will be unable to call upon the duo of Alan Forneris and new recruit Elias Torres here. Likewise, once again missing out away in Brazil last week, one-time Belgrano defender Franco Pardo remains a major doubt. Making a late cameo appearance off the bench in Rio de Janeiro, former Atletico Mineiro midfielder should get some more minutes under his belt."
Racing Club travel to Avellaneda needing to overturn a 1-0 first-leg defeat suffered in Brazil. La Academia have lacked consistency this season, winning only two of their last six matches across all competitions and exiting the Copa Argentina after a 1-0 loss to River Plate.
