Melgar are top of Group B and need to beat Racing, even if they are playing at the home of their opponents. The Peruvian team needs to be organised and strong, especially in midfield, in order to dictate the tempo of the game and attack consistently, using the sides of the pitch to get forward and reach the opposition box in a position to shoot on goal. In defence, the team will need attentive players to contain the opposition's attacks and not allow themselves to be surprised.
