Lanús and Aragua get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Copa Sudamericana Group Stage fixture.
The visiting Aragua played their last game only four days ago, a Primera Division match. That game was also an away game, at Yaracuyanos. 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.
