Copa Libertadores: Last four all eye first final

Nacional Asuncion will hope to end a seven-game winless run, as they aim to reach their first Copa Libertadores final.

The Paraguayans host Defensor Sporting of Uruguay in their Copa Libertadores semi-final first leg on Tuesday but are struggling, having been thumped 6-2 by Guarani in the Division Profesional in their last fixture, which was held on June 26.

Gustavo Morinigo's men are out of form, having not won a match since May and losing four of their past seven games.

Argentina's San Lorenzo are previous Copa Sudamericana champions back in 2002 but have never reached the Copa Libertadores final, despite being the first Argentine club to participate in the tournament in 1960.
