Universidad de Chile

WWDWWL

Universidad de Chile won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 0-3 Copa Libertadores loss in their previous game against Estudiantes de La Plata.

In that game, Universidad de Chile managed 60% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Estudiantes de La Plata got 11 attempts on goal with 9 of them on target. Tiago Palacios (22'), Santiago Ascacíbar (31') and Guido Carrillo (39') scored for Estudiantes de La Plata.

It has been seldom in recent times that Universidad de Chile have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Universidad de Chile have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 8 goals during that time.

Carabobo

After tasting defeat last time out to Botafogo in Copa Libertadores action, Carabobo will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, Carabobo had 40% possession and 13 shots on goal with 6 on target. For their opponents, Botafogo got 12 attempts at goal with 7 on target. Vitinho (22') and Cuiabano (90') scored for Botafogo.

👥 Head to head

The previous league encounter featuring the two was Copa Libertadores match day 3 on 22/04/2025 when it ended Carabobo 1-1 Universidad de Chile.

That day, Carabobo managed 37% possession and 7 attempts on goal with 1 on target.

On the other side, Universidad de Chile had 11 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Charles Aránguiz (43') scored.

📰 Team News: Universidad de Chile

There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Universidad de Chile boss Gustavo Álvarez to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Fabricio Formiliano (influenza) is sidelined.

We think that Los Azules should use the 3-4-3 system this time featuring Gabriel Castellon, Charles Aranguiz, Franco Calderon, Matias Zaldivia, Fabian Hormazabal, Marcelo Diaz, Javier Altamirano, Matias Sepulveda, Maximiliano Guerrero, Leandro Fernandez and Rodrigo Contreras.

📰 Team News: Carabobo

Due to a fully injury-free squad available to choose from, the Carabobo manager Diego Merino doesn’t have any fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this match.

We’re of the thinking that Carabobo seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation, starting the game with Lucas Bruera, Pablo Bonilla, Leonardo Aponte, Norman Rodriguez, Miguel Pernia, Gustavo Gonzalez, Jimmy Congo, Carlos Ramos, Edson Tortolero, Flabian Londono and Robert Hernandez.

💡 Prediction

For this match, we think that Universidad de Chile will most probably fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they come up against Carabobo, who won’t find it easy finding the net themselves.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 2-0 win for Universidad de Chile when all’s said and done.
