Universidad de Chile
DWWLDL ⚖
Universidad de Chile will be hoping to bounce back here after a 2-0 Campeonato Nacional loss in their previous game against Everton Viña del Mar.
Rodrigo Piñeiro (22') and Alan Medina (87') scored for Everton Viña del Mar.
Over their last six fixtures, Gustavo Álvarez's Universidad de Chile have found the net a combined total of 9 times, with that being an average number of goals scored per match of 1.5.
Botafogo
WWLLLD
In their previous game, Botafogo drew 0-0 in the Serie A match with Palmeiras.
In that match, Botafogo managed 42% possession and 13 shots on goal with 5 on target. For their opponents, Palmeiras had 13 shots at goal with 3 on target.
The forward players for Botafogo have been starved of goals over their last 6 games, recording the disappointing return of only 3. In those matches, Fogão have also seen the collective goal tally of their opponents equal 8. Nonetheless, time will tell whether such a trend shall persist in this match.

Team News: Universidad de Chile
Looking at personnel, there is just a single fitness concern for the Universidad de Chile gaffer Gustavo Álvarez to contend with from an otherwise complete set of players. Maximiliano Guerrero (Ankle injury) won’t play.
ℹ️
Team News: Botafogo
Botafogo boss Renato Paiva has not got a full squad to pick from. Nathan Fernandes (Thigh problems), Danilo Barbosa (Inflammation of pubic bone) and Bastos (Hamstring injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
🧠
Prediction
We envisage that Botafogo and Universidad de Chile could find scoring goals difficult here.
Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. We’re therefore seeing a very competitive game with a 0-0 draw when all is said and done.
