The Copa Libertadores action returns for second-round fixtures as Millonarios host Fluminense at the Estadio El Campín on Tuesday.
The hosts are making their first appearance in the continental competition since 2018. They qualified for the group stage in that edition but failed to make it to the knockout stages.
The Brazilian side made it to the quarter-finals last season. They have been eliminated from the last eight in their last three appearances in the competition. They'll be hoping to finish better in this edition.

Both sides head into this competition on a good run of form. The hosts have made it four wins in a row and are currently third in the league standings. Fluminense are on a seven-game winning streak in their domestic league.
After suffering a loss in the opening fixture of the season, they have won all of their games so far and are currently at the top of the standings. Both managers rested some of their first-team starters ahead of this crucial game, so we can expect a strong starting XI from both teams.
The Brazilian side have the upper hand in terms of squad quality and given their rich form, might be able to secure a narrow win here.
Prediction: Millonarios 0-1 Fluminense
