It is all balanced for Atletico Mineiro and San Lorenzo as they prepare for the return leg of their Copa Libertadores Round of 16 tie. The two sides played to a 1-1 draw in Buenos Aires in the first leg, meaning it's all to play for in Belo Horizonte on Tuesday. Read on for our preview and prediction of the match.

Atletico Mineiro have the chance to finally beat San Lorenzo. They’ve failed at it in the last three meetings, though the previous two ended in draws. In the first leg, the Brazilian side rose from behind in the second half to claim a crucial goal.

In their most recent outing, they drew 1-1 with Cuiaba in Serie A, their third straight such result. However, as they are unbeaten in the last four matches, the hosts will be confident of completing the job. They are unbeaten in five home matches, winning four.

San Lorenzo are going through a lean spell and will have regrets at failing to put this tie beyond Atletico Mineiro. Alexis Cuello’s 17th minute goal in the match was canceled by Paulinho’s strike in the second half.

There was no reprieve for San Lorenzo in their domestic assignment either, as they lost the lead again. This time they went on to fall 3-2 to Boca Juniors and they come into this match winless in the last six.

As they go in hunt of an away win, San Lorenzo have managed just two wins in their last 10 matches. In their last 10 away matches in the Libertadores, they failed to register a win. The Argentine side actually failed to score in the last three away matches in Libertadores.
