The first leg ended The Strongest-Atlético Tucumán 2-0. All is set for the decider in this Copa Libertadores 2nd Round fixture!
It's no vacation for neither Atlético Tucumán nor The Strongest 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.
The Strongest have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Atlético Tucumán are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Boca Juniors. Heartbreak before that as Atlético Tucumán lost 0-2 at The Strongest's place.

This ended in the 2nd round, when Libertad drew the shortest straw.It's not happening yet for The Strongest on their Liga De Futbol Prof travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Liga De Futbol Prof home defeat versus Wilstermann with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Before that, The Strongest secured a home win against Atlético Tucumán with the score 2-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as The Strongest are hosting Municipal Vinto in the Liga De Futbol Prof only four days away.
