Colombian side Millonarios will welcome Ecuadorians Universidad Catolica to the Estadio El Campin for the second leg of their Copa Libertadores qualifier on Thursday (March 2).
The hosts are coming off a 1-0 defeat at Once Caldas in the Colombian Primera A at the weekend. Dayro Moreno's 11th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two teams.
Catolica, meanwhile, fell to a 4-1 defeat at Tecnico in the Ecuadorian Liga Pro. Alexander Bolanos starred with a brace and an assist for Tecnico.

Los Camaratas will now turn their attention to continental action, with their tie against Millonarios firmly in the balance after a goalless stalemate in Chile last week in the first leg.
The winner of the tie will face either Carabobo or Atletico Mineiro for a place in the group stage of the Libertadores.

Millonarios vs Universidad Catolica Prediction
Both sides still have everything left to play for as they seek to reach the Copa Libertadores group stage. The first leg in Ecuador last week saw neither side creating enough chances to get on the scoresheet.
Another cagey clash can be expected owing to the high stakes involved. Millonarios are the slight favourites, and home support could have an impact on the outcome of the tie. The Bogota outfit have won three of their last four games in front of their fans. Another will keep them on course to qualify for the Libertadores group stage.
The hosts should claim a narrow victory and also keep a clean sheet.
