Prediction published on 04/07/2022, 16:00  by Indran in Copa Libertadores Prediction

Estudiantes welcomes Fortaleza to the Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi for this Copa Libertadores second round second leg match. These teams played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg so Estudiantes will certainly have the advantage in this tie. The home team have not been in the best of form and have failed to win any of their last three matches. Estudiantes are currently second in the Argentina Primera Division and they will be looking to replicate their form from the group stage when they comfortably won their group by 5 points. Their recent home form has also not been great as they have won only one of their last four home matches across all competitions. Estudiantes will not be too concerned with this as they have a 100 percent home record in this competition.

Fortaleza will be bitterly disappointed with the draw in the first leg as they took the lead only to relinquish it within a matter of minutes. They will now need to do what no other team has managed to accomplish in this competition and that is to beat Estudiantes at home. Fortaleza come into this match on the back of a 2-1 league defeat to Coritiba which continued their dismal form in the league. They are bottom of the league and have only won two of their 15 league games this season. Fortaleza will need to overcome their poor away form that has seen them lose their last three matches on the road.
