Head-to-Head
- Caracas FC were 1-0 winners when these sides last met two weeks ago in Venezuela, in the first meeting of Copa Sudamericana Group E, and they are expected to make it two wins from two when they travel to Sucre this Tuesday.
- The altitude of Sucre (2,800 metres above sea level) is a consideration here, and will likely have a negative impact on Caracas’ players, but Fernando Aristeguieta has instilled plenty of discipline and organization into this team since taking charge in July 2024, and they should have enough quality to navigate the match.
- Thiago Leitao’s men are a far more direct 4-4-2 unit who focus on creating turnovers and looking to overpower their opponents in physical clashes, and that could be their downfall in this contest.
Key Players
Wilfred Correa is Caracas FC’s most effective player in the Copa Sudamericana so far with two goals in three games , while Jesus Yendis has scored three of their last six in all competitions.
