International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Universidad Católica and Internacional are looking forward to this Copa Libertadores fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
Internacional could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie A game only four sleeps ago.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Universidad Católica form and stats
Last season their Copa Libertadores adventure ended in the group stage.16 points is a decent return from 7 Primera Division games here at Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo for Universidad Católica. The data says 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. This match is a Copa Libertadores match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses in this competition.
Universidad drew their last game, also a home match. Univ. Concepcion was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Universidad Chile.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Universidad have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found two matches with the results: Won zero, drawn one and lost one.

When we have look at the Copa Libertadores statistics, we find 4W-4D-1L. This is both home and away. The fact that Internacional have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Internacional, as they have won on their previous two travels.
