ARSENAL vs. UNION ESPANOLA Live Stream Online: 2014 Copa Libertadores Round of 16, Live Coverage From Sarandi, Projected Lineups and TACTICAL PREVIEW

Two clubs chasing Copa Libertadores glory will do battle today in a cup match between Arsenal de Sarandi and Unión Española. The Round of 16 clash scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio Julio Humberto Grondona in the district of Sarandi and can be live streamed here free.

Though Arsenal will play their first-ever knockout match in the Copa Libertadores, the club decided to sack their manager, Gustavo Alfaro, one week before their encounter with Chilean outfit Union Española. Attack-minded Martin Palermo was appointed to succeed him. Ahead of his first real test against Unión Española, Palermo expects an end-to-end encounter Thursday night (h/t to La Tercera). "Hopefully, Unión Española come out playing similar to how they did against Lanus," he said.

"I imagine it will be a beautiful game because that's how we both intend to play," he added.

"It could be open and feature plenty of goals. We want to win so we can go on the road with little worry."
