Four-time Copa Libertadores champions River Plate will kick-off their round of 16 clash with two-time champions Internacional with the first leg at Estadio Mâs Monumental on Wednesday. The winner of this two-legged tie will go on to meet the winner of the round of 16 match between Bolivar and Athletico Paranaense. River Plate qualified to this round from Group D, finishing second behind Fluminense. They had three wins, one draw and two losses to finish with ten points and only separated by goal difference. They have won their last two matches in this competition, so there is a bit of momentum in their corner. That gets amplified by their recent form in home games with River Plate winning six of their last seven home Copa Libertadores matches, drawing the other. Even in all competitions and friends,

Internacional topped their group in the Copa Libertadores, finishing ahead of Nacional and Independiente. They had three wins and three draws in the campaign leaving them unbeaten ahead of this round. In fact, they haven't lost during regular time in the Copa Libertadores across their last ten matches, winning four and drawing six. That said, the recent form of the visitors is suspect, casting doubts over their chances. Internacional have failed to win their last five matches, drawing three and losing two. Away form is equally poor with the Brazilians winning just three of their last 11 away games, drawing three and losing five. Interestingly, both their previous matches have ended in 2-2 draws and that's a score the visitors mightn't mind repeating here.
