Boca visit Deportivo Recoleta seeking Sudamericana quarter-final spot | OneFootball

Boca visit Deportivo Recoleta in Asunción for the Copa Sudamericana 2026 last-16 second leg at Estadio Defensores del Chaco, looking to seal progression after a 3-1 first-leg win at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó in Buenos Aires.

They arrive after a 1-1 draw with Platense in the fifth round of the Torneo Clausura. LaNumer12.com.ar notes that Rodolfo Arruabarrena's side are focused on protecting their advantage from the first leg.

Deportivo Recoleta are in mixed form, having lost 2-1 at home to Sportivo 2 de Mayo in the Paraguayan league, and require something special to overturn the two-goal deficit.

Arruabarrena must alter his starting line-up due to injuries. Leandro Paredes and Leandro Lozano did not travel, remaining in Buenos Aires to continue their recovery. Marco Pellegrino has a muscle tear and faces a longer absence.

Kick-off is 19:00 Argentina time in Asunción on Tuesday 18 August. ESPN carries live coverage in Argentina, with streaming available on Disney+.
