Internacional will host Rosario Central at the Estadio Beira-Rio on Wednesday in the second leg of their 2024 Copa Sudamericana playoff-round clash. The home side have struggled for results of late and will be desperate for a positive showing and outcome this week as they return to continental action.
They were beaten 1-0 by Botafogo in their last match falling behind late in the first-half and failing to find their way back into the game despite an improved second-half display.
Rosario Central meanwhile are enjoying a good run of form at the moment and will be looking to carry that momentum onto the continental stage this week. They beat Sarmiento 4-2 in their last league outing with three different players getting on the scoresheet including Agustin Modica who netted a first-half brace.
The visitors now have a foot in the last 16 of the Copa Sudamericana after picking up a 1-0 win in the first-leg clash last week thanks to a Jaminton Campaz strike. They will now be looking to finish the job on the road this Tuesday.
