How Estudiantes arrives
The team managed by Alexander Medina enters the match facing a true final at home. Estudiantes must win in order to qualify for the Copa Libertadores Round of 16.
The Argentine side comes into the match under pressure after being eliminated from the Torneo Apertura by Racing Club and then losing against Flamengo in Brazil in its latest continental appearance.
