Newell's Old Boys are looking to overturn their loss to Corinthians when they meet for their Copa Sudamericana return leg clash. Heading into this round of 16 game, Corinthians lead 2-1 from the first leg. This leaves the hosts with a big task to try and overturn the tie, yet they aren't in the best shape. Newell's Old Boys' loss to Corinthians scored their fourth straight game without a win. They have two losses in their last three matches and haven't managed a clean sheet in the last three matches. Once in the last four matches they failed to score. Here they must improve on the results they posted in the last four matches if they are to stay on. It hasn't been any better in the Copa Sudamericana as they have failed to win in the last two. Their home form will further be a concern as the team hasn't won any of the last five home matches.

Corinthians are on the front foot heading into this game after coming from down to beat Newell's Old Boys. They will be keen on defending their slim advantage in this tie. After beating Newell's Old Boys, they drew 2-2 with Internacional in the Serie A. While the result ended a run of three straight wins, Corinthians are still unbeaten in nine matches. They have three wins in their last four matches and have scored two or more in the last four games. Corinthians have however not kept a clean sheet in their last four matches. The last game, against Internacional was the first time in six matches that they conceded more than a goal. Their last four matches on the road have also returned an unbeaten run. Their last two away matches ended in draws.
