Independiente Rivadavia host Fluminense for Libertadores quarter-final place | OneFootball

Independiente Rivadavia host Fluminense in Mendoza on Tuesday, chasing a place in the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals.

According to SuperDepor.com, the second leg is set for 19 at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas, with live coverage on Fox Sports and Disney+ Premium. Colombian referee Andrés Rojas will officiate, with compatriot Leonard Mosquera on VAR.

The hosts arrive buoyed by a valuable first-leg draw at the Maracaná, which leaves the tie finely poised. In the league they rotated away to Torneo Apertura champions Belgrano and lost 2-0. Even so, they share top spot in the annual table with Argentinos Juniors and remain contenders for the league title awarded at the end of the year.

Fluminense travel in patchy form, exiting the Copa de Brasil in the last 16 to Vasco da Gama. They are fourth in the Brasileirao and have managed only one win in their past five matches. Even so, they remain dangerous, having won this competition for the first time in 2023.
