The Copa Libertadores continues this week, with the first legs of the round of 16 on the horizon. Estudiantes de la Plata will host Universidad Católica in this round of the competition. The hosts are an Argentine team that has been going through a rough patch. The club has just played four league matches in a row, with three losses and only one win. Not the best way to prepare for the return of the Copa Libertadores. In the group stage, Estudiantes de la Plata finished second in Group A behind Flamengo.
Their opponent, Universidad Católica, finished third in Group H, but ended the group stage on a high note with two wins in their last three matches, which secured their qualification for the knockout rounds. This is a relatively modest Ecuadorian team, but one that’s in good form. Universidad Católica has just put together a six-game unbeaten streak, including five wins across all competitions. Yet July got off to a rough start, with three straight losses at the beginning of the month.
