Colo Colo will welcome Racing Club to the Estadio Monumental David Arellano in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores on Tuesday. The hosts were held to a draw in their campaign opener, while Racing have a win and a draw in two games in the competition thus far.
The hosts saw their previous Libertadores match against Fortaleza suspended at the 70-minute mark due to unruly fans. They have not played a match since. In their campaign opener, a brace from Marcelo Javier Correa and a second-half strike from Mauricio Isla helped them secure a 3-3 away draw at Atlético Bucaramanga.
The visitors won their campaign opener against Fortaleza 3-0 and lost 3-1 to Bucaramanga earlier this month. They have won their last two games, including a 1-0 home triumph over Central Córdoba in the Argentine Primera División last week. Bruno Zuculini scored the match's only goal in the 45th minute, and Córdoba failed to equalize from a penalty awarded to them in the second half.
