The first of two encounters in the Copa Sudamericana Round of 16, as the hometeam Universidad Católica will try to edge São Paulo in their own ballpark.
It's quite the trip for São Paulo when visiting Universidad Católica as the cities are 3200 kilometers apart.
São Paulo could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie A game only four sleeps ago.
Universidad Católica form and stats
Last season, Universidad's Copa Sudamericana journey ended in the quarter-finals against Vélez Sarsfield.The home supporters can't complain about results here at Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo as Universidad Católica have scored 10 goals to get 16 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the Primera Division are 5-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Universidad Católica's previous fixture was a Chilean Cup game also played at their own arena, ending 3-0 versus Union San Felipe. The home team are looking to continue in that form.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Coquimbo Unido are coming to town in three days.
