Ecuadorian side Barcelona SC is eyeing an upset in the Copa Libertadores quarter finals in preparation to host Brazilian side Fluminense in the return leg of the tie. The tie is currently poised at 2-2 from the first leg, in which Barcelona were seconds from a crucial win. Going into this game Barcelona are without a win in the last two matches, the first being a draw with Fluminense in Brazil. They suffered a 1-0 loss to Orense in their domestic league but they will definitely put more effort here. They’ve earlier met twice with Fluminense and won one then drew the other; they will be keen on keeping that unbeaten run going. Their scoring run is impressive, with two goals in each of four of the last five matches but in this game they will miss one of their key attackers, in Leandro Martinez. The forward is suspended after being sent off in the first leg. They have a very strong run at home – four straight wins and scoring at least two goals in each of them. In their last 26 home matches, Barcelona have suffered just one loss.

Fluminense are in danger of elimination from the quarter finals which are dominated by Brazilian sides. They have no clean sheet in the last three matches and have conceded two or more in two of them. It hasn’t been a great season for Fluminense even in the Serie A back at home, and they head to this game from a 4-2 loss to Internacional, which left them 15th in the league standings. It doesn’t make anything easier that in the last four away matches, Fluminense have straight losses. They’ve failed to score in two of those four away matches, and conceded two goals or more in two of them.
