Independiente del Valle will welcome Boca Juniors for the first leg of the 2024 Copa Sudamericana round of 32.
The hosts were drawn into one of the most competitive groups in this year's Copa Libertadores, and San Lorenzo edged them out by a single point in qualifying for the knockout phase.
However, they have been in fine form domestically, sitting atop the Liga Pro standings and unbeaten in their last 15 league matches.
On the other hand, Boca Juniors have had a mixed start to the season in Argentina's Primera División, but they impressed in the Copa Sudamericana group stage, suffering just one defeat. The visitors will be looking to build on their continental success and take an advantage back to La Bombonera for the second leg.
