Racing Club (Home)
- Gustavo Costas likes to play his Racing side with a high-tempo 4-3-3 formation that takes the game to the opposition from the off, with the fullbacks pushing high up the field and the attacking players pressing early to recover the ball in the final third.
- However, the visitors are on a roll at the moment and are unbeaten in their last 5 games, while the hosts are coming into the match on the back of two defeats, one win and two draws.
- Racing Club have lost their only home game in the competition, conceding twice, while the visitors have averaged 2.0 goals a game in their first two away trips in Group E.
Caracas FC (Away)
- Caracas FC are unbeaten in their last five games (W3, D2) and have the better recent away record (W1, D1).
- A gritty 1-1 home draw against Racing Club two weeks ago was followed by a 3-2 away win over Independiente Petrolero that has put Caracas FC in a strong position in this highly competitive group.
- Caracas FC coach Fernando Aristeguieta has instilled a more tactical discipline upon his side with a compact 4-2-3-1 formation that looks to absorb pressure and punish opponents on the counterattack.
- Caracas FC have averaged 2 goals per game on their away trips in Copa Sudamericana Group E.
