Universitario vs Palmeiras prediction

Universitario edged their way through to the round of 16 of this competition with two victories, two draws and two defeats, finishing ahead of Independiente del Valle on goal difference. The Peruvians most recently defeated Boys by a goal to nil to extend their unbeaten run of form to 12 matches across all competitions.

Palmeiras, coached by Abel Ferreira, are one of the strongest sides in South America and they showed that by reaching the semi-finals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup this summer before losing to Chelsea. Palmeiras most recently defeated Ceara by two goals to one after winning all six of their group stage matches.

Palmeiras will be expected to go deep into this competition and they are one of the favourites, so should win both of these legs against Universitario in the round of 16.
