Thanks to a completely injury-free group available to select from, the Independiente manager does not have any fitness worries to report coming into this match.

We are inclined to think that El Diablo Rojo appear most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Rodrigo Rey, Santiago Arias, Kevin Lomonaco, Sebastián Valdéz, Facundo Zabala, Mateo Pérez Curci, Ivan Marcone, M. Gutiérrez, Santiago Montiel, Matías Abaldo and Gabriel Ávalos.
