Corinthians come into this match in poor form. Last weekend they lost at home to Cruzeiro, dropping to ninth in the table. The first leg against Rosario Central wasn't particularly encouraging either. A draw away from home is a decent result in itself, but Corinthians were far too passive: just 5 shots in 90 minutes compared to 16 for their opponents - a pretty damning set of numbers. Had Central converted a couple of their chances, Corinthians would have been in serious trouble at home.

Rosario Central's most recent competitive match took place on in the Argentine Primera División, where they won 1-0 away at Barracas Central.

The match statistics were as follows (Rosario Central vs Barracas Central):

• Possession: 59% vs 41%;
• Corner kicks: 1 vs 7;
• Fouls: 7 vs 10;
• Yellow cards: 3 vs 0;
• Shots on target: 3 vs 5.

Rosario Central have been in decent form lately, going five matches without a defeat and winning away at Barracas Central last weekend. It would have been better, of course, had they beaten Corinthians in the first leg - but that's done now. They were aggressive in attack throughout that match, forcing 12 corners to their opponents' none, yet never really created clear-cut chances.
