Aucas and Racing Club square off at the Estadio Gonzalo Pozo Ripalda in Group A of the Copa Libertadores on Tuesday.
The Argentine side will be looking to do the double over the hosts, having picked up a 3-2 victory in April’s reverse fixture.
Aucas kicked off their Copa Libertadores campaign in style as they picked up an impressive 2-1 victory over Brazilian outfit Flamengo on April 5.
César Farías’ side failed to build on that result as they suffered successive defeats against Racing Club and Nublense in their subsequent two group matches.
With three points from a possible nine, Aucas are currently third in Group A, four points behind Tuesday’s visitors at the top of the table.
Racing Club, on the other hand, head into the midweek clash winless in their last five matches across all competitions, losing four and claiming one draw.
However, Fernando Gago’s men turn their attention to the Copa Libertadores campaign, where they have enjoyed an unbeaten campaign, having picked up two wins and one draw from their opening three matches.
Racing Club are currently 22nd in the Argentine top-flight standings, having picked up 20 points from their 17 games so far.
