Betting tips and odds are provided below.

Huachipato (DWWLL)

The Huachipato team enters this group as outsiders. They are the least popular team, trying to take advantage of the home advantage to score as many points as possible. The team is in good form in the championship, having already gone 3 consecutive games without losing, having won 2 and drawn another. Furthermore, in home games, the team has lost just 1 of the 5 games played so far, conceding only 2 goals. The team enters this game as the underdog, however, they will certainly seek to maintain their momentum and surprise the Estudiantes team.

Estudiantes (LLLLW)

The Estudiantes team enters this group as one of the main favorites to take 1st place and advance to the next stage. The team needs to score against the theoretically most accessible opponent in the group, so they can then fight for 1st place. Still, the team is not going through its best moment in the league and needs to turn around that moment. The team has not won any of the last 4 meetings. Furthermore, in those same 4 games, they conceded 8 goals, an extremely negative record. The Estudiantes team cannot facilitate this, at the risk of failing to progress to the next stage of the Copa Libertadores.

Extra Betting Tips

There’s no recent history between both teams. Despite playing away, Estudiantes are still the favorites and they are expected to at least get a draw. Also, both teams are expected to score.
