Cienciano vs Juventud de las Piedras: Where to watch, TV channel, live stream & kick-off time | Goal.com US

Several platforms are carrying this Copa Sudamericana fixture, giving viewers in the United States multiple ways to watch. The TV channel and live stream options available are listed below.
Cienciano and Juventud de las Piedras meet in Group B of the Copa Sudamericana, with both sides in need of points to shore up their standing in the section.
Cienciano head into this fixture under Horacio Melgarejo having endured a difficult recent run. The Peruvian side have lost three of their last five matches across all competitions, including a 2-0 defeat to Atletico MG in their previous Copa Sudamericana outing. A draw against Sport Huancayo at the weekend offered some relief, but their continental campaign is at a crossroads.
Juventud de las Piedras arrive in far better shape. Sergio Blanco’s Uruguayan outfit have won three of their last five matches and have shown they can handle themselves at this level. A 1-1 draw with Academia Puerto Cabello in their last Copa Sudamericana game kept them in contention, and they have momentum on their side.
The two sides met earlier in this Copa Sudamericana campaign, drawing 1-1 in Uruguay in April. That result means neither team can claim a psychological edge from the head-to-head, and the contest here is wide open.
In the group standings, Cienciano sit second while Juventud occupy fourth place. Three points for the home side would consolidate their position, while a win for the visitors would close the gap and tighten the race for qualification.
Cienciano will be desperate to make their home advantage count. A second consecutive defeat in the Copa Sudamericana would put serious pressure on their campaign with the group stage progressing.
