M5 Athletico Paranaense vs Caracas: Brazil’s Athletico share top place in Group B of the Copa Libertadores but have just one point more than Caracas of Venezuela, who would need away success to advance to the last-16.

M6 Libertad vs The Strongest: Libertad are tie at the top of Copa Libertadores Group B with Athletico Paranaense on seven points, while The Strongest have six points.

M7 FBC Melgar vs Cuiaba: Brazil’s Cuiaba would need an away win to advance in the Copa Sudamericana but their Peruvian hosts need only one point.

M8 Boca Juniors vs Deportivo Cali: Boca were Copa Libertadores runners-up four years ago and are third in Group E, but just one point behind co-leaders Cali and Corinthians and with a win should be able to progress.

M9 Corinthians vs Always Ready: Corinthians have a chance to win their Copa Libertadores group but their Bolivian visitors have already been eliminated from the race.

M10 Junior vs Union de Sante Fe: Junior top their Copa Sudamericana group and a draw would be good enough to ensure progress. Union are second but if they lose, or even draw, could find themselves eliminated.
