Universidad Catolica Preview
Universidad Católica had control of the ball during the first leg, registering 66% of the possession, but with very few offensive opportunities, which in the end cost them the game, and now they will be at a disadvantage in the second phase of the knockout stage.

Universidad de Chile Preview
Universidad de Chile comes into this match confident after their victory in the first game of the quarter-final series, but especially because they now register three games unbeaten in all competitions. They managed to take advantage of the opportunity they had to open the scoring and defended well.
They have not been as consistent as visitors and that raises doubts as to whether they can hold their own in this game, having only two wins in their last 10 games playing as visitors. In addition, they have not won a match at Universidad Católica’s home since 2015, registering eight matches without a win at that venue.
Absences: Not reported.
Probable lineup: Martín Parra; Yonathan Andía, Nery Domínguez, Luis Casanova, José Martínez; Emmanuel Ojeda, Israel Poblete, Luis Felipe Gallegos, Lucas Assadi; Ronnie Fernández and Cristian Palacios.
JefeBet Prediction
La Católica has the disadvantage in the scoreboard, but for this game it has a certain advantage over its rival since it will be playing at home where it has won five consecutive victories against this rival in all competitions.
Prediction: Universidad Católica wins by a score of 2-0.
