Huachipato welcome Estudiantes to Estadio CAP for a Copa Libertadores clash on Wednesday.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a goalless draw at home to Universidad Catolica in the Chilean Primera Division over the weekend.
Estudiantes, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat away to Defensa y Justicia in the Argentine Copa de la Liga Profesional. Rodrigo Bogarin's 25th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The de La Plata outfit will turn their focus to the continent and have been drawn alongside Gremio, Huachipato and The Strongest in Group C of the Copa Libertadores.

Huachipato vs Estudiantes Prediction
Huachipato are currently on a three-game unbeaten run, with their draw over the weekend ending their two-game winning run. Los Acereros qualified for the Libertadores as Chilean Primera Division champions but their title defense got off to a poor start as they failed to win any of their first three league games this season.
Estudiantes qualified as Copa Argentina champions but their form heading into this game has left a lot to be desired as they have lost their last three games on the bounce. This is in sharp contrast to the form that saw them go unbeaten in the prior 16 games across competitions (11 wins). Nevertheless, Eduardo Domínguez's side still come into this game as slight favorites on paper.
Estudiantes' games in recent weeks have been tight affairs and this game could be one where chances come at a premium. Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.
Prediction: Huachipato 1-1 Estudiantes
