Estudiantes de La Plata is gearing up for Matchday 2 of the Copa Libertadores, where they will face Cusco FC at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium. The “Pincharrata” will play their first home game, marking their 19th appearance in the Copa Libertadores, where they will aim to perform better than last year after losing in the quarterfinals to Flamengo. The team from Río de la Plata will also have another shot at winning its fifth Libertadores title after claiming its fourth in 2009, which would make it the third-most successful team in the competition’s history.
On the other side, the “Guerreros Dorados” have been one of the Peruvian teams to have gone the farthest in the Copa Libertadores, having achieved their best performance in 2013 by reaching the quarterfinals. However, the Cusco-based club has not had the best record against Argentine teams, having failed to win any of its four head-to-head matches against rivals from Argentina. In addition, they are no strangers to facing Estudiantes de La Plata in a playoff series, though they have yet to defeat them in an official match.
