Universidad Catolica vs Estudiantes prediction
The first-leg of this CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores round of 16 tie saw Estudiantes and Universidad Catolica share a 1-1 draw at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi in Argentina. Estudiantes took a fourth minute lead in that game before the Chileans equalised late on.
Universidad Catolica have since been able to have a week off in the Chilean Liga de Primera, where they sit third in the table after 18 matches. Estudiantes hammered Gimnasia La Plata by four goals to nil at the weekend, starting the Argentine Primera Division Clausura campaign inconsistent form, having suffered three defeats in four matches before that win.
Estudiantes will take confidence from that but, with home advantage and seeming a bit fresher, siding with Universidad Catolica would appear a decent bet for this one in Las Condes.
