Racing Club host Rentistas at the Estadio Presidente Perón in Copa Libertadores Group E action on Tuesday.
The hosts have already secured passage into the next round and will likely end up as group winners. They are yet to lose a game in the competition and defeated Sao Paulo 1-0 in their previous outing.
Unlike the home team, Rentistas are winless in the competition after five games and have scored just two goals so far. They were defeated 2-0 by Sporting Cristal last week but returned to winning ways with a 2-1 win in the Uruguayan Primera Division against Boston River on Saturday.
