Sporting Cristal vs Racing Club: Storylines
Sporting Cristal had a weak start to their continental campaign. Roberto Mosquera’s boys were destroyed by Sao Paulo in the first round, then lost to Racing away, and last week they tied with the modest Uruguayan side Rentistas.
However, La Máquina Celeste have been outstanding in the domestic league, winning their first seven games to fight for a back-to-back championship. But their future in South America’s greatest competition is in jeopardy.
Racing Club head to this game after a much-needed win over San Lorenzo in the Copa de la Liga, which enabled them to advance to the quarterfinals. That triumph gave coach Juan Antonio Pizzi some relief after many tough weeks, and now his team travels to Lima hoping to get a victory that puts them close to the Round of 16.
