Estudiantes – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club must try to do its best
“The Rat Stabbers” are the new winners of the Diego Maradona Trophy. And this is the first serious title after success in the Argentine Apertura in 2010. Still, they either spent a lot of effort there, beating Boca Juniors in the semi-finals and winning the decisive match against Velez Sarsfield only in a penalty shoot-out. Perhaps the players over-celebrated their long-awaited success. Having started the Copa with an away draw in Chile and a 2-1 score in the struggle with Strongest at the home arena, the team then lost the battle against Gremio with a 0-1 result at the home arena and in Bolivia.
Huachipato – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club completely fails at the inner arena
“The Steelers” quite unexpectedly became the champion of Chile in 2023. Still, now they get on average a point per match and, if we take into account the last rounds, this indicator is even lower – there is a threat of relegation, and quite a realistic one. At the same time, the 1st round in the Copa Libertadores was at least not bad: a victory over Gremio, which happened on the away field, and home draws in the struggles with Estudiantes and Strongest. The voyage to Bolivia turned into a 0-4 defeat.
