Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Newell's Old Boys & Sportivo Peñarol face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Copa Argentina. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Newell's Old Boys and Sportivo Peñarol.
