Racing Club host Corinthians at the Estadio Presidente Peron on Thursday in the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana semi-final. The hosts are coming off a 2-1 defeat to Banfield in their last outing in the Argentine Primera Division.
Corinthians, meanwhile, are coming off a 1-0 win over Cuiaba in the Brasileiro Serie A, with Dutch striker Memphis Depay scoring the sole goal of the game from the spot.
The two sides played out a 2-2 draw in the first leg last week. Yuri Alberto scored a first-half brace for the Timao to overturn an early deficit before Racing's Gaston Martirena got on the scoresheet early in the second.

Corinthians, meanwhile, are on a five-game unbeaten streak, winning twice. They have, however, struggled on the road recently, so the tie could be decided on penalties.
