Racing receives
Estudiantes de Mérida
this Wednesday, October 21, with the aim of staying with the first position of Group F of the Copa Libertadores 2020.
In this way, the
Academy would be
able to seize the home-court advantage in the definition in the heads-up matches that will start from the round of 16 and avoid Boca and River.
The match will be played from 19:15 (Argentine time)
at the Presidente Perón de Avellaneda stadium, with arbitration by Uruguayan Andrés Cunha and
live televising on ESPN 2
(channels 103 from Cablevisión and 623 from DirecTV) .
These are the 11 to look for the first place in Group F!

The definition to win the group is head to head between Racing and Nacional de Montevideo
, since both reach this last date with 12 points, the same goal difference (+4) and up to the same amount of goals scored (7) and received (3).
That is why
the National and Alianza Lima will play at the same time at the Parque Central de Montevideo stadium
, so there will be no room for speculation given such equality between the two teams that star in the definition.
If they end up equal in everything, Racing leads Nacional by
more goals made from away
.
The Argentine and Uruguayan rivals also have a sporting incentive in both matches, as they
define the third position of the group among themselves, which grants a place to join the Copa Sudamericana from the second phase
.
Students have four points (-3 goal difference) and Alianza closes the positions with one (-5), so the Venezuelans need to draw or hope that the Peruvians do not win in Montevideo to take third place.
