Recoleta host Boca Juniors in the Copa Sudamericana, with the Paraguayan side facing a stern test as Rodolfo Arruabarrena's visitors arrive looking to advance in South America's second-tier continental competition.
Recoleta sit top of Group D heading into this second leg, a position that reflects their competitive showing in the tournament so far. Jorge Gonzalez's side have shown they can score goals in domestic football, though the gulf in squad depth between these two clubs is considerable.
Boca arrive in Paraguay off the back of a 3-1 win in the first meeting between these sides, played just six days ago. That result puts the Buenos Aires club in a strong position, and Arruabarrena will expect his team to manage the tie with authority.
The visitors have been active across multiple fronts. A 1-1 draw with Club Atletico Platense in the Liga Profesional on August 15 was the most recent outing, keeping Boca ticking over domestically while their Copa Sudamericana campaign gathers pace.
Off the pitch, captain Leandro Paredes has made his intentions clear by rejecting interest from AC Milan, committing fully to the pursuit of silverware in Buenos Aires. That kind of leadership from a World Cup winner matters when a club is competing on multiple fronts.
Recoleta will need to produce something special to overturn the deficit. Their recent form in Paraguay's Division Profesional has been inconsistent, and Boca's experience at this level of continental football gives the visitors a clear advantage.
