Metropolitanos and Lanús get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Copa Sudamericana Group Stage fixture.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
