The final of the 2025 Recopa Sudamericana is almost here, and you can catch all the action live on beIN SPORTS USA and beIN SPORTS USA Español on Thursday, February 27 at 7:20 PM ET. Racing Club and Botafogo will face off in the second leg of this thrilling series, with the Argentine team holding a 2-0 advantage after the first leg in Avellaneda.

Where is the Match Being Played?

The match will take place at the Estadio Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, where Botafogo will look to overturn the scoreline and claim the title. However, the Brazilian side isn’t in the best form, having been eliminated from the Campeonato Carioca last weekend and currently under an interim manager after Artur Jorge's departure. Despite these challenges, they’ll have the return of defender David Ricardo and forward Artur, which could give them a boost in their quest for the trophy.

How is Racing Club Looking?

Racing, on the other hand, arrives motivated after their home victory and with the chance to become back-to-back South American champions in less than three months. The team, led by Gustavo Costas, has had an inconsistent start in the Argentine league but remains strong. The big question mark for the starting lineup is whether Luciano Vietto and Santiago Sosa, who are recovering from injuries, will be available to play. Their presence could be crucial in this decisive clash.

Tournament History

Both teams are aiming for their first-ever Recopa Sudamericana title, a trophy neither has won in previous attempts. Racing lost in the 1989 edition to Nacional de Montevideo, while Botafogo was defeated in 1994 by São Paulo. The stage is set for history to be made, and only one will lift the trophy in this edition.
