It's game one of two in the Copa Libertadores as Universidad Católica host Millonarios. This is a 2nd Round fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
It's quite the trip for Millonarios when visiting Universidad as the cities are 1100 kilometers apart.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Universidad Católica form and stats
Universidad Católica participated in Copa Libertadores the last season, where they reached the 3rd round and lost against The Strongest.Universidad Católica faced defeat in their previous match, away at Delfin (1-2).
Previous to that game, a Liga Pro home match hosting Emelec in a game that was won 2-0.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 Católica have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 6 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 2 and lost 2.
There will be little rest for Universidad after this match as they are travelling to Tecnico Universitario for a Liga Pro game in only three days.
