The ninth round of Argentine football came to an end on Monday night to make way for a new week of international tournaments. The group stages enter their second competition date and slowly the zones begin to show who will compete for a ticket in the next round. Who plays for Copa Sudamericana? Unión de Santa Fe will visit Oriente Petrolero, Defense and Justice in Florencio Varela to receive Atlético Goianiense in Florencio Varela and Independiente will wait in Avellaneda for General Caballero.
OIL ORIENT VS. UNION
Unión de Santa Fe today is one of the great surprises of the current Professional League Cup. El Tatengue is more than satisfied with its role at the local level and this Tuesday has an unbeatable chance to demonstrate its good functioning in the South American with the aim of climbing in Group H. But he won't have it easy: he will visit the height of Bolivia to play against Oriente Petrolero. The meeting will begin at 19.15 with the refereeing of the Ecuadorian Marlo Vera and television broadcasting of Fox Sports.
Those led by Gustavo Munúa achieved a convincing 1-0 victory against Newell's Old Boys at home and arrived with high spirits for the second continental day. With a great strength in the 15 de Abril stadium as a characteristic, the outstanding debt of the Santa Fe team is to begin to demonstrate the high level it has as a visitor.
Anyway, you won't have the task of playing at high altitude at all easy. Oriente Petrolero kicked off the international tournament with a tough 0-3 win against Fluminense, but managed to turn the page quickly and beat Nacional Potosí 4-2 on matchday eight of the Bolivian First Division. However, irregularity is one of the big problems of the team trained by Roly Paniagua who will seek to become strong as a local and achieve the first three points of the South American.
Probable formations
East Oil: Wilson Quiñonez; Maximiliano Caire, Sebastian Alvarez, Leandro Zazpe, Carlos Roca; Daniel Rojas, Juan Mercado, Hugo Dorrego, Luciano Guaycochea; Ferddy Roca Vivancos or Rodrigo Saucedo, Facundo Suárez. DT: Roly Paniagua.
Union: Santiago Mele; Federico Vera, Franco Calderón, Diego Polenta, Claudio Corvalan; Imanol Machuca, Juan Nardoni, Juan Portillo, Enzo Roldán; Mariano Peralta Bauer, Matias Gallego. DT: Gustavo Munua.

INDEPENDENT VS. GENERAL KNIGHT
The early expulsion of Ayrton Costa in the match against Ceará made everything uphill for Independiente in his debut for the Copa Sudamericana. Although they started winning thanks to a goal by Gastón Togni, the Brazilians took advantage of the numerical superiority and ended up turning the score around. El Rojo needs to use the tie between the other two teams in Group G to their advantage and that is why they will come out with everything from the 21.30 to defeat General Caballero with the referee of Ecuadorian Guillermo Guerrero and ESPN television.
The Avellaneda set needs to raise its head as soon as possible. His irregular walk in the Professional League Cup, the fall in Brazil and Tigre's agonizing draw over the weekend are some of the hard moments that Eduardo Domínguez experienced since his arrival on the substitute bench. The coach urges a victory against the Paraguayan team and for now he would have only one doubt in attack: Gastón Togni or Damian Batallini.
For his part, General Caballero garnered a point last weekend with a draw against Cerro Porteño and continued his streak of equalities that began in the middle of the week against La Guaira in the South American. Tenth in the Paraguayan championship table, the coach would bet on Walter Rodríguez instead of José Vera as the only modification from the first date of the international competition.
Probable formations
Independent: Sebastián Sosa; Gonzalo Asís, Sergio Barreto, Juan Manuel Insaurralde, Lucas Rodriguez; Alan Soñora, Lucas Romero, Domingo Blanco, Andrés Roa; Leandro Benegas, Gastón Togni or Damian Batallini. DT: Eduardo Dominguez.
General Caballero: Gustavo Arevalos; Miller Mareco, Leandro Corulo, Junior Barreto, Tomas Lezcano; Ezequiel Aranda, Walter Rodriguez, Guillermo Hauche, Santiago Bustos; Junior Marabel, Clementino Gonzalez. DT: Gustavo Bobadilla.
Hora: 21.30
Stadium: Liberators of America-Ricardo Enrique Bochini
Referee: Guillermo Guerrero (Ecuador)
TV: ESPN
DEFENSE AND JUSTICE VS. ATLETICO GOIANIENSE
Defensa y Justicia is one of the best fit teams in Argentine football. Florencia Varela's team comes from thrashing Talleres de Córdoba 5-1 and scoring three points against Antofagasta on the first date of the Copa Sudamericana. Now it is his turn to go to the top of Group F that he currently shares with Atlético Goianiense, his rival tonight. The meeting will begin at 21.30 with the arbitration of Colombian Carlos Betancur Gutiérrez and television broadcasting of ESPN 3 and Star +.
Sebastián Beccacece has already built a fundamental pillar for a team to be successful: a basic formation that is already coming out of memory. Although some names may vary in the local tournament to give rotation and rest to the protagonists, the Falcon coach is calm when it comes to selecting the players to face the Brazilian club. Therefore, it will not make any changes to the victory in Chile last week.
On the other side, Goianiense appears, who comes from drawing last weekend against Flamengo for Brasileirao. Currently 11th in the league, he thrashed Liga de Quito 4-0 on the first date of the South American and for now holds first place in the zone by goal difference. In addition, at the beginning of April he became champion of the Goiano Championship, defeating Goiás to show that the results support the good moment the team has been having.
Probable formations
Defense and Justice: Ezequiel Unsain; Alexis Soto, Juan Rodriguez, Adonis Frias, Nicolas Tripichio; Kevin Gutierrez, Raul Loaiza; Carlos Rotondi, Walter Bou, Hugo Fernández, Miguel Merentiel. DT: Sebastian Beccacece
Atletico Goianiense: Luan Polli; Jefferson, Edson, Wanderson, Dudu; Baralhas, Marlon Freitas, Léo Pereira; Jorginho, Shaylon, Wellington Rato. DT: Umberto Louzer
Hora: 21.30
Stadium: Norberto Tomaghello
