Caracas and Penarol will trade tackles in a Copa Libertadores fixture on Tuesday. The hosts settled for a share of the spoils in a 1-1 draw against Rosario Central at the same venue a fortnight ago.

Penarol, meanwhile, also shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw away to city rivals Liverpool Montevideo in the Uruguayan Primera Division. Leonardo Sequeira broke the deadlock for the visitors in the ninth minute but their lead lasted for just two minutes as Kevin Amera drew Liverpool level. Jean Ross gave the hosts the lead six minutes later while Maximiliano Cabo scored the equalizer in the 90th minute.

Penarol have blown hot and cold over the last few weeks but have a shot at competing with Rosario Central for second spot in this group. Diego Aguirre's side are the favorites here and will be expected to claim maximum points against the group's strugglers.
