International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Guaireña and Independiente Medellín are looking forward to this Copa Sudamericana fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Independiente Medellín, who are travelling more than 6500 kilometers to play this game.
Both teams have had sufficient rest since their previous match. Let's trust this will be an in-your-face match!

Last season, Guaireña's Copa Sudamericana journey ended in the 1st round against River Plate.The story so far in the Division 1 for Guaireña at their home stadium (Estadio Defensores del Chaco) is 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
Guaireña's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Libertad.
Before that match, a Division 1 win away at General Caballero JLM.The manager Duarte will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Tacuary in only three days.
Guaireña aren't scoring a lot here at Estadio Defensores del Chaco in the league, with only 3 goals from 5 games. Guaireña have conceded 8 from these games.
Independiente Medellín form and stats

Independiente Medellín had fun at their own home (Estadio Defensores del Chaco) last time out, beating Envigado 2-1. Pardo and Arregui scored.

A 1-1 draw at Deportivo Pereira's stadium before that.The schedule is very tough for Independiente now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Liga BetPlay game at Alianza Petrolera is waiting in only three days.
