Don’t miss the match between Lanus (Argentina) and Cienciano (Peru), LIVE on beIN SPORTS

The CONMEBOL Copa Sudamericana 2026 brings two clubs with rich continental histories back into the spotlight.

Lanús and Cienciano will face off in the Round of 16 playoffs, in a series expected to deliver intensity, experience, and high-pressure moments.

The Argentine side will look to defend its status as the current Copa Sudamericana champion, while the Peruvian club aims to pull off an upset and revive the winning spirit that made it one of the most respected teams in Peruvian football on the international stage.

🇦🇷 Lanús: The defending champions look to keep making history

“El Granate” enters this stage with the confidence of being the reigning Copa Sudamericana champion and the goal of maintaining its place among South America’s top clubs.

After finishing third in its Copa Libertadores group, Mauricio Pellegrino’s team returned to this competition with the ambition of lifting the trophy once again.

Lanús will rely on its home-field strength, a factor that played a decisive role in its latest continental campaign. In the 2026 Copa Libertadores, the Argentine club won all three of its home matches without conceding a goal, highlighting its defensive organization and competitive mentality.

🇵🇪 Cienciano: The Copa magic seeks another historic achievement

The Cusco-based club arrives with confidence after advancing through the Copa Sudamericana group stage and knows these types of matches are part of its identity.

Cienciano finished second in Group B and will now look to use its international experience to challenge the reigning Argentine champions.

The memories of its continental triumphs remain alive: the Peruvian side was crowned Copa Sudamericana champion in 2003 and continues to have a special connection with major international stages.

Cienciano also carries a positive record against Argentine opponents in CONMEBOL competitions, giving its supporters another reason to believe in a possible upset.
