  • Kickoff is at 19:00 local at the Cilindro in Avellaneda, with Esteban Ostojich as referee, Andrés Cunha on VAR, Fox Sports on TV and Disney+ streaming.
  • Racing carries a 1–0 aggregate lead from Liniers thanks to Adrián “Maravilla” Martínez, who leads this Libertadores’ scoring and is the club’s all‑time top scorer in international play.
  • Vélez will be without Lisandro Magallán due to his first‑leg red card, and Aaron Quirós is expected to step in as outlets publish probable lineups for both teams.
