América de Cali and Internacional get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Copa Libertadores Group Stage fixture.
It's no vacation for neither América nor Internacional as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

América de Cali have collected 13 points from their Primera A home games so far after 4-1-0. This match is a Copa Libertadores match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses in this competition. The América de Cali fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Estadio Olímpico Pascual Guerrero and will expect new points from this game.

América de Cali are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Deportes Tolima. In the match before that, América hosted Universidad Católica and drew the Copa Libertadores game 1-1.
The América de Cali fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 5 league matches. From these home matches, América have conceded only 3 goals.
Internacional form and stats
Internacional's mission in Copa Libertadores last season failed in the quarter-finals.2-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Internacional in their Serie A matches away. The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Copa Libertadores stats, they have 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss both home and away. Internacional has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
Internacional played 1-1 against Sao Paulo in their previous match. The game before that, in the Copa Libertadores, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Grêmio.
The schedule is very tough for Internacional now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Grêmio is waiting in only four days.
