International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Newell's Old Boys and Audax Italiano are looking forward to this Copa Sudamericana fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
This stadium uses the playing surface grass, unlike Audax Italiano's home arena. The former 40 games by the guests on grass have given 16 wins, 13 draws and 11 losses.
These teams have little in common geographically as Audax Italiano have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Newell's Old Boys and Audax Italiano should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
