Match Stats
Palestino:
Thursday marks the commencement of Palestino's journey in the Copa Sudamericana knockout stage, as they host Cuiaba at Estadio Ester Roa. The Chilean side finds themselves here after a disappointing end to their Copa Libertadores campaign, where a 3-1 loss against Bolivar in their final group match saw them drop into this tournament. Own-goals by Jose Bizama and Ariel Martinez proved costly in that crucial encounter, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities. Palestino's performance in the Libertadores often saw them struggling to find early momentum, with a majority of their goals coming late in matches. Despite early setbacks, they showed resilience on home soil, securing vital victories in Santiago towards the end of their Libertadores campaign. Now, they aim to advance further in the Sudamericana, a competition where they haven't managed to win a two-leg tie on home turf since 2016. Their record against Brazilian teams in this tournament also presents a challenge, with just one victory in eight encounters against Brasileiro Serie A opponents.

Cuiaba:
Meanwhile, Cuiaba arrives in Chile with optimism after making history in the Copa Sudamericana. The Brazilian side progressed past the group stage for the first time ever, showcasing their defensive prowess by remaining unbeaten throughout. In a group where they stood alongside the likes of Belgrano and Cruzeiro, Cuiaba's disciplined performances stood out, with two clean sheets and a record of conceding just one goal per game. Their solid defensive structure was complemented by a consistent showing in the Brazilian top flight, where they have secured points in seven of their last eight matches, including two victories. Despite their relative inexperience in international competitions, Cuiaba's ability to maintain composure, especially away from home, has been a defining factor in their Sudamericana campaign. Now, they aim to extend their historic run by overcoming Palestino in what promises to be a challenging two-leg clash.

Prediction: 0-0
