The last time these two teams met resulted in a 1-0 away win to Independiente. So Melgar will be looking to set the record straight in Ecuador, as they search desperately for this first Copa Libertadores win in Group 5.

Independiente del Valle are coming into this fixture fresh off a 1-0 victory over league rivals River Plate on Saturday. Independente del Valle find themselves third in Group 5, 1 point behind Chilean Colo Colo, and 3 points behind Atletico Mineiro, so will be looking to boost their progression opportunities and take the full 3 points against a Melgar team who have lost all 3 of their Copa Libertadores games so far this term.

Melgar drew their last fixture 1-1 in the league against Centro Deportivo at the weekend, but have been in disappointing form of late both domestically and internationally, failing to record a win in their last 8 games.

Their leading scorer Omar Fernandez has only netted once in the competition, their only goal in 3 games, so they will be hoping he can increase his tally in this tricky away fixture.
