Following last week's goalless draw in Concepcion, Chilean duo Audax Italiano and Nublense reconvene in the same city on Thursday, to see which will progress from the Copa Sudamericana playoffs.
A stalemate in the sides' first-leg clash leaves the tie in the balance, with Ecuador's LDU Quito already awaiting the winners in the last 16.
We say: Audax Italiano 0-1 Nublense (Nublense win 1-0 on aggregate)
Neither side has found the net with any regularity of late, but with a place in the last 16 on the line, both will have to come out of their shells at some stage. It may still be only one goal that decides who will progress, and Nublense can make their possession pay this time around.

Tigre vs. Libertad (Friday, 1.00am)

Trailing 2-1 from last week's first leg, Tigre aim to overturn their deficit against Club Libertad on Thursday, when the clubs clash in the Copa Sudamericana playoffs.
A last-16 tie with Brazil's Fortaleza awaits the aggregate winner at Estadio Jose Dellagiovanna, in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires.
We say: Tigre 1-1 Club Libertad (Libertad win 3-2 on aggregate)
As Libertad are in by far the better form and could have won by more in last week's encounter, the Paraguayan club can secure their spot in the next round by holding Tigre to a draw. That would be enough to earn victory over two legs, setting up a last-16 tie for early next month.
