Universidad de Chile

WWWDWW 📈

Universidad de Chile, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 1-0 Campeonato Nacional victory versus Universidad Católica.

The only scorer from Universidad de Chile was Rodrigo Contreras (90').

It’s been a rare occasion in recent times that Universidad de Chile haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Universidad de Chile have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 7 goals on the way. Having said that, we must now wait to see if that trend might continue on in this match.

Estudiantes de La Plata

With a completely injury-free squad available to choose from, the Estudiantes de La Plata manager Eduardo Domínguez does not have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this clash.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Estudiantes de La Plata certainly have the ability to find the back of the net against this Universidad de Chile outfit, however it may not quite be as many as they will have scored against them.

We’re tipping both teams to score in a 2-1 advantage for Universidad de Chile after the 90. Definitely a tough call.
