  May 14, 2025 Defensa y Justicia -  Universidad Católica Estadio Norberto Tomaghello, Florencio Varela, Argentina On Wednesday, May 14, 2025, Argentine Defensa y Justicia will face Ecuadorian Universidad Católica in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with different playing styles promises an interesting confrontation and an opportunity to extend several remarkable streaks. Defensa y Justicia has only one defeat in six home games against Ecuadorian teams in CONMEBOL competitions (3 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss). That single defeat came in the group stage of the 2022 Sudamericana against LDU Quito (1-2). The Argentine side thus has an excellent record against Ecuadorian opponents on home soil. After not conceding goals in their last home game in the 2025 Sudamericana (0-0 with Vitória), Defensa y Justicia will seek to play consecutive home matches without conceding for the third time in CONMEBOL competitions. This achievement has not happened for the Argentine team f...

  May 13, 2025   Grêmio - Godoy Cruz   Arena do Grêmio, Porto Alegre, Brazil On Tuesday, May 13, 2025, Brazilian Grêmio will face Argentine Godoy Cruz in the Copa Sudamericana. The clash between teams with different playing styles promises an interesting confrontation and possible extension of several remarkable streaks. Grêmio is unbeaten against Godoy Cruz in CONMEBOL tournaments after three encounters, with two victories and one draw. The only one of these matches that was played in Brazil was in the return leg of the 2017 Libertadores round of 16, when the Tricolor won 2-1. The Brazilian side will thus want to confirm its dominance over the Argentine opponent. Grêmio has lost only one of the 10 matches it has played as the home team against Argentine teams in the group phases of CONMEBOL tournaments, with six wins and three draws. That single defeat occurred 27 years ago, when River Plate won 3-2 in the 1998 Copa Mercosur. This impressive record gives the home tea...

  May 8, 2025   Barcelona SC - River Plate   On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Ecuadorian side Barcelona SC will face Argentine giants River Plate in the fourth round of the CONMEBOL Libertadores group stage. This match is the only fixture in matchday four that pits two teams against each other who have both kept clean sheets in two of their first three group stage matches. Barcelona SC has demonstrated defensive quality in recent meetings with River Plate. The "Ídolo," as the Ecuadorian team is nicknamed, has not conceded goals in their last two matches against the Argentine powerhouse in the CONMEBOL Libertadores (1 win, 1 draw). However, the historical head-to-head record favors River Plate - the "Millonario" won the first three encounters between these sides in this tournament. The Ecuadorian outfit excels in defensive solidity throughout the competition. Barcelona SC has kept a clean sheet in more than half of their matches in the 2025 CONMEBOL Libertadores (four o...

  May 8, 2025   Racing - Huracán   Estadio Parque Osvaldo Roberto, Montevideo, Uruguay On Thursday, May 8, 2025, Uruguayan Racing will face Argentine Huracán in a return match of the CONMEBOL Sudamericana group stage. Both teams enter the encounter with different ambitions and interesting statistical data that suggest a potentially exciting showdown. Huracán thrashed Racing 5-0 when the teams met in the current edition of the Sudamericana on Argentine soil. If "Globo," as the Argentine side is nicknamed, manages to win again, they will achieve consecutive victories against Uruguayan opponents in CONMEBOL tournaments for the first time in their history. Racing has minimal experience hosting Argentine clubs in CONMEBOL competitions. Their only such match was played last year when they defeated Argentinos Juniors 2-1 in the group stage of the Sudamericana. The home advantage could therefore be a key factor for the Uruguayan team in the upcoming clash. Huracán's offensiv...
