Universidad de Chile and Estudiantes will battle for three points in a Copa Libertadores fixture on Wednesday (May 7th). The game will be played at Estadio Nacional Julio Martinez Pradanos.
The hosts will be aiming to build on the 1-0 victory they registered over Universidad Catolica in the Chilean Liga de Primera over the weekend. Rodrigo Contreras stepped off the bench late on to score a last-gasp match-winner in the seventh minute of injury time.
Estudiantes, meanwhile, suffered a 4-0 thrashing away to Argentinos Jrs in the Argentine Torneo Betano. They were two goals down at the break thanks to Tomas Molina's quickfire brace. Alan Lescano and Jose Herrera scored second-half goals to complete the rout.
