CONMEBOL Libertadores action takes place on Wednesday evening as Brazilian hosts Mirassol take on Copa Sudamericana champions Lanus.
Both sides come into this fixture looking to make a strong start to their Libertadores campaign, with the out-of-form hosts winless since January, and Lanus looking to impress after their continental triumph last season.
Set to meet for the first time in continental competition, a closely fought contest can be expected as both teams aim to secure a valuable victory on matchday one.
Mirassol team overview
Mirassol comes into Wednesday’s Copa Libertadores contest in dismal form after falling to a fifth successive defeat in their most recent fixture. The Brazilians suffered a 1:0 home reversal against RB Bragantino in a Brasileirão Betano encounter.
Rafael Guanaes’ side have now lost four of their last five games by the same 1:0 scoreline. A long winless run has seen the home side fail to win each of their last 11 games across all competitions.
Without a win since January, Mirassol now face their first-ever Copa Libertadores contest with little confidence, particularly in front of goal. The Brazilian side failed to score in five of nine previous fixtures.
Head coach Rafael Guanaes has just one confirmed absentee this week. Igor Cariús is set to miss out with a hamstring injury.

Lanus team overview
Lanus arrive in Brazil after picking up a point in a goalless draw against Platense in the LPA last weekend. Despite dominating for much of the 90 minutes, Mauricio Pellegrino’s men were unable to find a breakthrough at Estadio Ciudad de Lanus.
The reigning Copa Sudamericana champions have been in better form than their Brazilian hosts. The Granate won five and lost only two of their last nine fixtures, including a two-legged victory against Brazilian opponents Flamengo in the CONMEBOL Recopa.
Considering their recent continental success and the hosts’ poor form, Lanus look well placed to pick up a positive result this week.
Head coach Pellegrino is unlikely to make too many changes from the side that started against Plantense. Top scorer Dylan Aquino remains sidelined.
