Aucas will welcome Nublense to Estadio Gonzalo Pozo Ripalda for a Group A fixture in the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday.
The home side are coming off a 2-0 defeat away to Independiente del Valle in the Ecuadorian Liga Pro. Yaimar Medina and Junior Sornosa scored in either half to inspire their side to victory.
El Ídolo del Pueblo will turn their attention back to the continent, where their last game saw them fall to a 2-1 defeat on home turf against Racing Club. The defeat left them at the bottom of the standings, having garnered three points from four games.
Trending
Nublense, meanwhile, have not been in action since sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw against Flamengo in the Libertadores a fortnight ago. Gabriel Barbosa opened the scoring for the Brazilians in the 34th minute, while Jorge Neira leveled matters in the 74th minute.
The draw saw them climb to third spot in the table with four points to their name from four games.
