Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Colo-Colo in Campeonato Nacional competition, Universidad Católica and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Arturo Vidal (8' Own goal) and Javier Correa (42', 45') scored for Colo-Colo.

A succession of reliable performances from the Universidad Católica defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their last 6 fixtures combined. Over that same period, their own forwards have managed to score 7.

📰 Team News: Boca Juniors

The Boca Juniors boss Claudio Úbeda does not have any fitness worries whatsoever coming into this clash owing to a completely healthy squad available to choose from.

We think that Los Xeneizes will possibly line up in a 4-3-3 formation this time with Leandro Brey, Malcom Braida, Lautaro Di Lollo, Marco Pellegrino, Lautaro Blanco, Ander Herrera, Leandro Paredes, Milton Delgado, Tomas Aranda, Milton Gimenez and Exequiel Zeballos.

📰 Team News: Universidad Católica

Universidad Católica boss Daniel Garnero has to choose a team with limited availability. Gary Medel (Muscle tear), Juan Ignacio Díaz (Muscle tear), Juan Francisco Rossel (Fracture of the eye socket), Ignacio Pérez (Patellar tendon problems), Tomás Asta-Buruaga (Cruciate ligament tear) and Diego Valencia (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.

We believe Cruzados seem likely to play in a 4-1-4-1 lineup, giving starts to Vicente Bernedo, Sebastian Arancibia, Juan Diaz, Branco Ampuero, Eugenio Mena, Jhojan Valencia, Clemente Montes, Cristian Cuevas, Fernando Zuqui, Jimmy Martinez and Fernando Zampedri.

🔮 Prediction

It looks to us that Boca Juniors are likely to stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

At the other end, Universidad Católica are also probably going to find it difficult getting on the scoresheet although we do think that they will probably end up scoring as well.

We can therefore see a 3-1 win for Boca Juniors at full-time.
