Estudiantes - Universidad Catolica
Last updated: Today, at Estudiantes host Universidad Catolica in Copa Libertadores round of 16
Estudiantes host Universidad Catolica on Wednesday, 12 August 2026, in the Copa Libertadores round of 16. The home side has shown a mixed recent run, suffering defeats to Deportivo Riestra and Boca Juniors in their last two league outings, though they did record a notable 3-0 victory over Defensa y Justicia on 1 August. Universidad Catolica, meanwhile, arrive having secured a 2-0 win against Cobresal in their most recent fixture, but this followed a heavy 3-0 loss to Deportes Concepcion. Their cup form earlier in July was more encouraging, with multiple wins secured.
The visitors have demonstrated an ability to score goals in recent weeks, including a 3-3 draw with La Serena and a 5-1 league win against Universidad de Concepcion. However, their defensive record has been inconsistent, highlighted by a 4-0 defeat to San Luis in a cup tie. Estudiantes will be looking to build on their home advantage and recent league successes to overcome Universidad Catolica's attacking threat.
