Fresh off the back of ending their six-game winless run, Deportivo Cali take on Corinthians at the Estadio Deportivo Cali in Group E of the Copa Libertadores on Thursday.

The Brazilian outfit, on the other hand, head into the game on a two-match winning streak and will be looking to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Deportivo Cali returned to winning ways on Sunday as they edged out Once Caldas 1-0 in the Colombian top flight.

Prior to that, they were on a six-game winless run across all competitions, picking up three draws and losing three in that time.

With four points from three games, Deportivo Cali are currently second in Group E, level on points with third-placed Club Always Ready.

Meanwhile, Corinthians sit at the top of the pile after picking up six points from a possible nine so far.

The Brazilians made it two wins from two last time out when they saw off Fortaleza 1-0 in Serie A.

Corinthians are unbeaten in six of their last seven games, with a 3-0 loss at Palmeiras on April 23 being the only exception.

This will be the second-ever meeting between the two sides. Their first encounter came back in April, when the Brazilians claimed a hard-fought 1-0 victory.
