It's game one of two in the Copa Sudamericana as Deportivo Táchira host Rosario Central. This is a 8th Finals fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Primera Division. Thankfully the previous game, versus Zamora Futbol Club, was also a home game here at Estadio Polideportivo de Pueblo Nuevo. The away team is better rested.
