There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana Round of 16 meeting between Melgar and Deportivo Cali. Game on!

Deportivo Cali have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

The hosts Melgar saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Primera Division. That game was an away game at Alianza Atletico, so at least Melgar are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Deportivo Cali form and stats

Deportivo Cali's mission in Copa Sudamericana last season failed in the 1st round against Deportes Tolima.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Deportivo Cali so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-6 (win-draw-lose).

Cali delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Melgar in their previous match; a Copa Sudamericana fixture.

A quick return to home after this game, as Deportivo Cali are hosting Jaguares de Cordoba in the Primera A only three days away.
