The action continues in Group D of the Copa Libertadores as Talleres and Libertad go head-to-head on Thursday. Ivan Franco and Adrian Alcaraz were on target to hand the Paraguayan side a 2-0 victory in April’s reverse fixture and they will look to complete the double over Pablo Guinazu's men at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes.
Talleres were left empty handed yet again as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Instituto De Córdoba in their Argentine Liga Profesional clash last Saturday.
This was in keeping with their struggles in the Copa Libertadores, where Guinazu's side have lost each of their opening three matches while conceding six goals and scoring twice so far.
Talleres head into Thursday’s clash without a win in their last six matches across all competitions, losing five and claiming one draw since April’s 2-0 victory over Gimnasia.

While Sergio Aquino’s men have failed to win their most recent four Division de Honor matches, they remain top of the league table, having picked up 36 points from their 17 games.
Libertad return to action in the Copa Libertadores, where they have picked up two wins and lost one of their three games so far to collect six points and sit second in Group D, four points off first-placed São Paulo.
