Racing Club will host Huachipato at the Estadio Presidente Peron on Tuesday in the second leg of their 2024 Copa Sudamericana last-16 clash. The home side have endured a rough patch of results in their domestic assignments of late and will hope they can find better luck elsewhere this week.
They performed brilliantly well in the group stages of the Copa Sudamericana, picking up five wins from six games to finish atop their group and advance to the last 16 of the continental showpiece for the first time since 2017.
Huachipato, meanwhile, have endured a largely underwhelming campaign. They have appointed Igor Oca as the new head coach in an effort to salvage the rest of their season. They faced Uruguayan side Racing de Montevideo in the playoff round of the Copa Sudamericana last month, playing out a 3-3 aggregate draw before winning the tie on penalties.
Racing already have a foot in the quarterfinals of the competition after picking up a 2-0 win in the first leg clash last week with Adrian Martinez opening the scoring in the first half before Juan Fernando Quintero came off the bench to seal the win from the spot late in the game.
Racing Club vs Huachipato Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Tuesday's game will mark just the second meeting between Racing and Huachipato following their debut matchup last week.
- Racing have scored 16 goals in the Copa Sudamericana so far this season. Only Independiente Medellin (18) and Athletico Paranaense (22) have scored more.
- Huachipato are the lowest-scoring side in the Chilean top flight this season with a goal tally of just 15 after 19 matches.
- The visitors have managed just one clean sheet in their last five continental outings.
Racing Club vs Huachipato Prediction
Racing are on a run of back-to-back victories after winning just one of their previous four games. They have won six of their last seven home games and will head into the midweek clash as clear favorites.
Huachipato's latest result ended a three-game winless streak and they will now be looking to build on that this Tuesday. They have, however, struggled for results on the road of late and could see their continental ambitions end this Tuesday.
Prediction: Racing Club 2-0 Huachipato
