In contrast, Huachipato finished 3rd in group C of the Copa Libertadores and had to defeat Racing de Montevideo in Round 32 of the Copa Sudamericana to get here.

Racing had a sensational run in Group H of the Copa Sudamericana as they finished top of the group with 5 wins and a single defeat, they also scored the most goals in the group with a total of 14 goals scored. They delivered a sensational performance in their first leg encounter against Huachipato which ended in a 0-2 win for Racing. Adrian Martinez got the first goal of the game in the 32nd minute and Fernando Quintero doubled their lead in the 89th minute. They head into this game with a 2-goal advantage. 

In the meantime, they’ve also been doing well in the Argentinian Liga Profesional as they are currently 2nd placed in the league with 6 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses from a total of 11 games played. They’ll most likely secure another win here.

Huachipato has a lot of work to do as they lost to Racing in the first-leg encounter which ended in a 0-2 defeat. They were outclassed in that game and will need to regroup if they intend to equal the 2-goal deficit. 

In the meantime, the team secured a 0-2 victory over Deportes Copiapo in their most recent league game and they are currently in 11th place in the league table. Will Cris Martinez come to their rescue once again? Let’s find out.

Racing was in control of the game in the first leg and I fear we may see a similar outcome on Wednesday. Racing will qualify to the next round and we can also expect a minimum of two goals from Racing here as they are the stronger team and they also have the home advantage. A win or draw and a total of over 1.5 goals for Racing. We also bank on the corner option.
