Racing Club Avellaneda have work to do if they're to keep their Copa Libertadores dreams alive, trailing 1-0 on aggregate as they welcome Peñarol for the decisive round of 16 clash.
The return to home soil offers a glimmer of belief, but form has not been on their side. The first-leg defeat in Montevideo was the only time in four outings they’ve drawn a blank, yet they come into this tie without a win in three straight matches.
Back-to-back defeats, including a 2-1 slip-up against Tigre, underline their struggles, while three losses in their last four home games suggest their fortress is no longer as intimidating. Even so, Racing have taken five wins from their last seven Libertadores fixtures at El Cilindro, a stat they'll cling to as they attempt to turn the tide.
Peñarol, meanwhile, couldn't ride the momentum of their first-leg triumph into domestic action, falling 2-1 to Boston River and missing the chance to notch a fourth consecutive victory. Despite that stumble, the Uruguayan outfit have been remarkably consistent, losing only twice in their last 23 matches across all competitions while picking up 17 wins in that span.
The concern lies in their recent away record, with consecutive road defeats denting confidence, although five wins in their last nine trips still makes them a tricky visitor. If they can steady the ship, they’ll feel well placed to protect their slender lead.
