Universidad de Chile vs Internacional Predictions

• Both teams have scored in Universidad de Chile’s last 8 games.
• 4 of said fixtures have ended in draws; two of which 1-1.
• Both teams have scored in 4 of Internacional’s last 6 games.
• Internacional have scored at least once in 5 of their last 6 Copa Libertadores away games.

Universidad looking to make home advantage count

It’s fair to say the draw couldn’t have been much harsher on Universidad de Chile, having been handed one of the most difficult possible second round opponents. Indeed, the Chileans come into this tie as big underdogs and if they are to have any real chance of advancing, they need to secure a positive result on home soil prior to making an extremely tough trip to Porto Alegre next week.

Preparations for Tuesday’s game have been somewhat disrupted by the ongoing unrest in Santiago but La U need to try and pull their heads together and focus on the task at hand. A 5-1 win over Curico Unido at the weekend has the hosts coming into the match with a confidence booster behind them but having lost their two outings prior to said fixture, they’ve not been entirely convincing in 2020 thus far.

Internacional looking to assert dominance over the tie

Meanwhile, after reaching the quarter-finals last season before losing to eventual winners Flamengo, making into the group stage proper is a minimum expectation for Internacional this year. They are big favourites to win the tie and will travel to Chile determined to pick up a positive result prior to their home leg next week.

Now under the watch of ex-Racing boss Eduardo Coudet and having made some smart moves in the transfer market, Colorado look set for a strong year on all fronts. They are unbeaten under Coudet this far, winning 3 of his 4 games in charge but Tuesday’s fixture is by far the biggest of the year so far and focus has been on it for weeks.

Plenty of action is expected

Ultimately, we’re expecting Tuesday’s clash to be one packed full of attacking action and excitement. As hosts and with little to no chance in the second leg, Univerisdad are obligated to try and play on the front foot whilst Inter will also look to play in an aggressive manner with the away goals rule in place.

All things considered, backing the Both Teams to Score line looks the best way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we’re more than happy to do with maximum confidence. Both teams have staggeringly scored in Universidad’s last 8 outings and with 4 of said matches having ended all square, we fancy this one to do so too, with a 1-1 full time scoreline on the cards.
