Defensa y Justicia get ready to welcome Vasco da Gama for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa Sudamericana 8th Finals leg 1 of 2.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Serie A game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Sao Paulo. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Vasco da Gama have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
