Aguilas Doradas and Red Bull Bragantino square off at the Estádio do Morumbi in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores second qualifying round on Tuesday.
The Brasileiro Serie A outfit head into the midweek clash unbeaten in their last five matches and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.
Aguilas Doradas returned to winning ways in the Categoria Primera A on Saturday as they scraped a 1-0 victory over Millonarios at the Nemesio Camacho El Campín Stadium.
Prior to that, Hernán Gómez’s men were on a four-game winless run in the Colombian top flight, losing twice and picking up two draws in that time.
Aguilas Doradas, who are currently ninth in the Primera A standings, will look to pick up where they left off at the weekend as they continue their quest for continental football.
Elsewhere, Uruguayan midfielder Ignacio Laquintana came up clutch for Red Bull Bragantino as he netted a 96th-minute equaliser to hand them a pulsating 2-2 draw with Sao Paulo in Serie A.
With that result, Pedro Caixinha’s side have now gone five consecutive games without defeat in the Brazilian top flight, picking up 11 points from a possible 15 since a 1-0 loss to Palmeiras on January 31.
Having failed to qualify for the Copa Libertadores last season, Bragantino are looking to return to the continental showpiece since their group-stage exit in 2022.
