After an exciting first leg last week, Talleres and Velez Sarsfield will finish their battle for a place in the Copa Libertadores semi-finals on Thursday.
Thanks to a last-minute goal, the visitors arrive with a slender 3-2 lead to defend with everything still to play for between the two Argentinian outfits.
We say: Talleres 1-1 Velez Sarsfield (Velez Sarsfield win 4-3 on aggregate)
If last week's first leg is anything to go by, Thursday's contest should be an exciting one, albeit with a different dynamic as Talleres look to come from behind while their visitors set out to hold their lead.
While the hosts will go all out for goals to overturn the deficit, we see Velez Sarsfield having enough to avoid a defeat on the day and stay ahead on aggregate.

Palmeiras take on Atletico Mineiro in the second leg of their Copa Libertadores quarter-final clash.
The hosts are in the driving seat in the tie, having come from two goals behind to draw 2-2 away from home last week.
We say: Palmeiras 2-1 Atletico Mineiro
Atletico Mineiro will give it their all, but we expect Palmeiras to record a narrow victory with home advantage on their side.
The hosts are in irrepressible form right now and their big game-winning experience is unrivalled having won this competition twice in a row.
