Overview

• Return legs for Argentine sides are set: Vélez–Fortaleza Tuesday 19:00, Racing–Peñarol Tuesday 21:30, Estudiantes–Cerro Porteño Wednesday 19:00, and River–Libertad Thursday 21:30.
• Racing, down 1-0 from the first leg, must win by two or more to advance; a one-goal win sends the series to penalties, while a draw or loss means elimination.
• Independiente trails Universidad de Chile 1-0 from the away leg and needs a two-goal home win to reach the Sudamericana quarterfinals.
• River comes home after a 0-0 in Asunción and must win at the Monumental to progress, with a draw leading to penalties; the match airs on Fox Sports, Telefe and Disney+.
• Lanús and Central Córdoba meet in a Sudamericana return that guarantees at least one Argentine team exits this week, with nine clubs from the country still alive across both tournaments.
