What They're Saying
The Strongest manager Nestor Craviotto (via Opinion): "There's 20 minutes left. If we think we've qualified [for the group stage], then we're mistaken. We are going against a great team who aren't going through a good run of form at the moment, but they have great players. We could've obtained a better result as visitors [in the first leg], but it didn't happen that way."
Morelia manager Alfredo Tena (via Quadratin): "They [The Strongest] are a good team. They have good possession of the ball, interesting players. They are very complete. We have to be careful of everything. We are going to take the Copa Libertadores seriously. In the league, we're renovating. We have interesting young players. We are going to take this game seriously."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Morelia's David Depetris scored a timely goal to equalize the first leg. Last season, the 26-year-old finished with four goals in 13 appearances. He'll look to continue his run of form in La Paz on Tuesday.
