Barcelona SC x Cobresal Team News

Francisco Fydriszewski of Barcelona will try to deliver the goods once again after scoring six goals in his past seven games.

Franklin Guerra's knee injury from an earlier this year friendly versus New York City has kept him out of action for the hosts.

Cristian Toro missed the past two games and is still a big question for this one after being hauled off in Cobresal's loss to Talleres the last time out.

One player to watch is Leonardo Rossel, who is on a two-game scoring run for the guests going into Thursday's match.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

On May 17, at Estadio Do Morumbi, Barcelona SC and Brazilian team Sao Paulo battled to a goalless draw in their last continental encounter.

Despite being outgunned for most of the fight, Ariel Holan's men held strong to take home a portion of the loot owing to some defensive valor.

Having won their last three league games, Idolo del Astillero is second in the Liga Pro standings, one point behind Independiente del Valle.

Next comes the task of a rival team that fought valiantly for a 1-1 draw in the only other meeting between these two teams back in April.

The hosts on Thursday have shown they are no pushovers in front of their supporters by being undefeated in eight of their previous nine home games. They will back themselves to win this one.

The clubs squared off at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes on May 14, and Cobresal lost 1-0 against Talleres Cordoba.

Before Federico Girotti scored the game-winning goal late on, Gustavo Huerta's men seemed to be heading for a hard-fought point as the game entered its last round, still goalless.

El Milagro del Desierto is at the bottom of Group B, with only one point from their first five Copa Libertadores games, yet they are just two points below their next opponents.

Having won only one of their previous eleven road games, Thursday's guests have their work cut out for them as they try to prevent another unsuccessful trip.
