Universidad Catolica host Cruzeiro in a Copa Libertadores Group D fixture that carries real consequences for both clubs' hopes of progressing from the group stage.
The Chilean side come into this match sitting top of Group D, but their position flatters a team that has been inconsistent across all competitions. Three defeats in their last five matches, including back-to-back losses in the Primera Division, suggest Catolica are not in the kind of form a group leader would want.
Their Copa Libertadores campaign has been a different story. A 1-2 win away at Cruzeiro on April 15 showed the Santiago club can raise their level when the continental stakes are high, and that result will give them genuine confidence ahead of this return fixture.
Cruzeiro arrive in Chile knowing they owe Catolica one. Fernando Diniz's side were beaten at home by the same opponents less than a month ago, and that defeat has left them third in the group with ground to make up.
The Brazilian club's domestic form has been solid. Three wins from their last five in Serie A, including a 2-0 victory over Gremio and a 1-0 win at Remo, point to a squad with enough quality to compete. Their most recent outing, however, was a 1-3 home defeat to Atletico MG, which will have dented confidence heading into this trip.
Both sides understand what is at stake in Group D. A win here could significantly reshape the standings and put the victor in a strong position with games running out in the group phase.
Here is everything you need to know about how to watch Universidad Catolica vs Cruzeiro live, including TV channel details, live stream options, and kick-off time.
