The home team comes to this 2^nd round after having lost (1‑0) in the 1st round, in a match against Independiente. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 7 conceded.

Goals have been frequent in their home matches, as 9 of the last 18 have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 13 out of 18 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 18 home matches for all competitions: they have suffered 5 of their 11 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Belgrano entered very poorly at the competition loosing at Independiente by 1-0: it was a late goal that lead them to the loss scored by Rigoni after 87 minutes of play. Despite this loss, the manager Ricardo Zielinsky should adopt his usual 4-4-2 formation with a good defensive organization and always ready to explore counter attacks. They should also play carefully to avoid conceeding too much space to their opponent that leads the competition at the moment. Apparently, the manager will have all the squad available to this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Pier Barrios, Federico Alvarez, José Rojas, Cristian Lema, Mario Bolatti, Iván Etevenaux, Jorge Velazquez, Fernando Márquez, Mauro Óbolo.
Coach: J. Olave, G. Farré, J. Real.
