Estudiantes will welcome Botafogo to Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores on Wednesday. Both teams have a win and a loss to their name in the two games in the competition thus far.
The hosts have seen a drop in form and are winless in their last four games in all competitions. In their previous Libertadores match, they lost 2-1 at home to Club Universidad de Chile earlier this month. They played Boca Juniors in the Argentine Primera División last week and lost 2-0 away from home.
The visitors suffered a 1-0 loss to Universidad de Chile in their Libertadores campaign opener but registered a 2-0 win over Carabobo earlier this month. Patrick de Paula, assisted by Jefferson Savarino, scored in the 88th minute, and fellow substitute Matheus Martins added a goal in stoppage time. They are winless in their last three games and lost 1-0 away to Atletico Mineiro in the Brazilian Serie A.

Estrela Solitária have endured a three-game winless run, suffering two defeats. They have failed to score in both losses. Notably, they have won just one of their 10 competitive away games in 2025.
