Bolivian side The Strongest will be at home to Universidad Catolica in the return leg of their third round tie in the Copa Libertadores, both sides seeking a spot in the group stages. For both sides it hasn’t been very fruitful the recent matches; The Strongest have no win in the last three games. They are coming from a 1-0 loss to Bolivar in their domestic league, which followed on two straight draws. These two drew 0-0 in the opening game of this round but The Strongest will bank heavily on their home form to see off their Ecuadorian opponents. In the last 13 home matches, The Strongest have one loss and eight wins. In the Copa Libertadores, they have three straight wins at home, and three clean sheets in the last five at home. They have scored two or more goals in four of their last five home matches in the Copa Libertadores.

Universidad Catolica from Ecuador, just like The Strongest, go into this game without a win in the last three matches. However, they’ve managed just one win in the last five matches with both sides scoring in three of those five matches. Away from home, Universidad have scored in each of the last five matches though both sides have scored in the last four. To get to this stage, Universidad beat another Bolivian side, Bolivar, 3-1 on aggregate, for their only win in five Copa Libertadores matches. They are however winless in nine away matches in Copa Libertadores, losing seven of these nine games and failing to score in five of them.
