Universidad de Chile vs Estudiantes prediction

Under the management of Gustavo Alvarez, Universidad de Chile come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat of Universidad Catolica at Estadio Nacional Julio Martinez Pradanos at the weekend thanks to a winning goal from substitute Rodrigo Contreras deep into second-half stoppage-time.

They now face an Estudiantes side that most recently suffered a 4-0 annihilation at the hands of Argentinos Juniors at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona the other day. The hosts have now managed just two victories in their last 11 matches across all competitions with both of those victories coming in this match.

Estudiantes have been strong in this competition this far but lost the reverse fixture of this one in Argentina and the Chileans will fancy their chances to move towards knockout qualification.
