Racing Club vs Sao Paulo: Storylines 

Sao Paulo and Racing will meet again in this edition, after the Argentinian side took four points from their two group stage matches in May. They won 0-1 in Morumbi with a goal from Joaquin Novillo and drew 0-0 in Avellaneda, before drawing again 1-1 in their last match.  

Racing has shown to be the better team so far. And they can certainly take confidence from the first leg match, as they were able to compete as visitors. Now, on home soil they will try to book their ticket to the quarterfinals. 

Sao Paulo hasn't won a Libertadores match in Argentina since they lifted the trophy 16 years ago. Now, they have to break that negative streak if they want to get into the last eight of Copa Libertadores.
