Either Racing Club or Corinthians will secure a spot in the Copa Sudamericana final for the first time as they clash in the second leg of their matchup on Thursday at Estadio Presidente Peron in Argentina.
The first leg of their encounter last week was an exciting affair, ending in a 2-2 stalemate, setting the stage for an intense showdown this Thursday. Following that spirited contest, Racing finds themselves in a favourable position to reach the final for the first time in the club's history.
It's been just over a year since Corinthians were ousted in the semi-finals of this competition by Fortaleza (losing 3-1 on aggregate), and they have a chance to redeem themselves on Thursday. Timao has yet to triumph in a semi-final fixture in this tournament, but a win this week will secure them a place in the final for the first time.
Ramon Díaz's squad has claimed victory in their last three Sudamericana matches on the road, recently avenging their earlier loss in the quarter-finals with a 2-0 win against Fortaleza, advancing with an impressive 5-0 aggregate score. The Sao Paulo club is currently enjoying a five-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, most recently securing a 1-0 victory at Cuiaba in Brasileirão action on Monday.
