Ecuador’s Barcelona SC are looking to overturn the 1-0 deficit suffered in Argentina against Velez Sarsfield when the two sides square it out in the return leg of the round of 16 Copa Libertadores tie. The hosts warmed up for this game with a 3-0 win over Macara in their domestic league, ending a run of three winless matches. It was also their first clean sheet in four matches and the first time they scored more than a goal in six games. With two clean sheets in the last seven matches, Barcelona have some work to do defensively, though the side they face isn’t known for being lethal in attack.

Velez Sarsfield are unbeaten in their last five Copa Libertadores matches – winning four and drawing one. They head to this game unbeaten in their last four matches, and have no outright loss in their last nine matches. The only time they tasted defeat in the last nine matches was on post match penalties against Racing Club but they head to this clash with six wins in that run. They have three straight clean sheets and six in the last nine matches, but they have failed to score in three of their last nine matches. Only once in the last five matches have they managed more than one goal.
