Estudiantes need to overturn their recent poor form to hold an edge over Universidad Catolica when the sides meet in the 2026 Copa Libertadores round of 16 tie. This first leg match on Tuesday at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi in La Plata between the ‘Rat Stabbers’ and ‘Los Cruzados’ could see the visiting side return with at least a point.

The Argentinian hosts finished second in Group A of this competition behind Flamengo with nine points (W2, D3, L1). The Chilean visitors ended top of Group D with 13 points (W4, D1, L1) and two above Cruzeiro. The winner of this tie will face either Rosario Central or Corinthians in the quarter-finals.

Estudiantes lost 2-0 away from home in their last game at the weekend. That was the third defeat from their last four games (W1) as the ‘Rat Stabbers’ continue to struggle for momentum. Their home form gives hope of beating that trend, as they had three wins from their last four games they hosted (L1).

Universidad won 2-0 at home in their weekend domestic game, which was their tenth win from their last 13 matches (D1, L2). The visitors have also been impressive in this competition, with four wins from their six Copa Libertadores games (D1, L1), while they have also won five of their last seven trips (L2).

Our Estudiantes de La Plata vs CD Universidad Catolica Prediction

Estudiantes have won both their previous games against Universidad, but those came back in 1969. Recent form isn’t an ally for Estudiantes, who have won just once since July. Universidad, on the other hand, have ten wins from their last 13 games and will look to make the most of that form.

Estudiantes are favourites to win this leg, but they come into this game with three defeats from their last four matches. A surprise could be in the offing from the visitors, and our Estudiantes de La Plata vs CD Universidad Catolica prediction is draw or CD Universidad Catolica.
