Metropolitanos host Internacional at the Estadio Brigido Iriarte on Thursday (May 25) in the group stage of the CONMEBOL Libertadores.
The hosts have had mixed results in the Venezuelan top flight this season but have fared even worse on the continental stage. Metropolitanos lost 4-2 to Colombian outfit Independiente Medellin last time out, They were already three goals down before Jhon Marchan came off the bench to reduce the deficit.
Metropolitanos are rock-bottom in the standings with zero points and will be desperate to pick up their first continental win of the season.
Internacional, meanwhile, are struggling, both in the Brasileiro Serie A and the Copa Libertadores. They drew 2-2 with Nacional in their last European outing and will be gutted to have come away with just a point after a dominant performance.
The visitors are third in the group with five points from three games and will go top of the table with maximum points.
