THE PREDICTION

A hard-fought 0-1 win away from home in their round of 16 first leg sees Palmeiras with one foot in the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals, although the Brazilian side will have to do a professional job to see off Universidad Catolica, in this second leg particularly from a defensive perspective. Throughout the Copa Libertadores so far Palmeiras have impressed, winning Group A with 15 points accrued from a possible 18 before victory in the first leg vs their opponents here. Having racked up a mammoth 21 goals over those six matches, the attacking prowess of Palmeiras with home advantage in this second leg should overwhelm Universidad Catolica, who have no choice but to leave themselves at risk defensively in a bid to overturn this tie. Therefore, back Palmeiras to win.
