Argentinos Juniors will put their undefeated home record at the 2023 Copa Libertadores on the line Tuesday when they welcome Fluminense to Estadio Diego Armando Maradona in the opening leg of that round of 16 tie.

It is the first time since 2021 that both of these sides are in the last 16 of this tournament, as the Argentines finished second in their group with 11 points, while Fluzao ended up first in their group, ahead of River Plate on goal difference despite going winless in their final three group stage affairs.

Argentinos were the more consistent of the two sides in the group stage, but Flu have a quality finisher in Cano who does not need much of an opening to score.

This could be more of a feel-out game for these two evenly-matched sides, which is why we believe that a stalemate is a logical scoreline.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

周二，阿根廷青年队将在2023年解放者杯的首回合比赛中，在马拉多纳球场迎来弗鲁米嫩塞队，这将挑战他们在该赛季的主场不败纪录。

这是自2021年以来，这两支球队首次同时进入本届世界杯的16强，阿根廷队以11分排名小组第二，而Fluzao队以净胜球领先河床队，尽管他们在最后三场小组赛中都没有获胜。

阿根廷人在小组赛中表现得更加稳定，但是弗罗里夫有一个高质量的终结者卡诺，他不需要太多的机会就能得分。

对于这两支势均力敌的球队来说，这可能是一场激烈的较量，这就是为什么我们认为平局是合乎逻辑的比分。
