--------------------------------
Guaraní CA
Guaraní, coached by Victor Bernay, is third in the Paraguayan Primera División’s annual table but struggled in their Clausura opener, losing 2-1 to Nacional Asunción on July 20, 2025. They were crushed 5-0 by Universidad de Chile in the first leg on July 17, 2025, at Estadio Nacional, with Charles Aránguiz (penalty), Javier Altamirano, Lucas Assadi, Fabián Hormazábal, and Nicolás Guerra scoring, per web sources. Their form shows 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last five, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 2.2 goals conceded. Key players include Agustín Manzur (3 assists in group stage) and Richard Prieto. Guaraní’s strengths are their home form at Estadio Rogelio Livieres (5 wins, 1 draw in last 10) and Manzur’s creativity, but their defense collapsed in the first leg (19 shots faced), per web sources. They need a miracle to overturn the 5-0 deficit and reach the round of 16 against Independiente.
Universidad de Chile
Universidad de Chile, nicknamed La U and coached by Gustavo Álvarez, is second in the Chilean Primera División, trailing by one point after a 2-2 draw with Huachipato on July 20, 2025, per web sources. Their 5-0 first-leg win showcased their high-pressing 4-2-3-1, with 71% possession and 15 shots, per web sources. Their form includes 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last five, averaging 2.4 goals scored and 0.8 goals conceded. Key players include Aránguiz (2 goals vs. Guaraní), Assadi, and Matías Zaldivia (available after suspension), per web sources. La U’s strengths are their attacking depth and tactical discipline, but they may rest starters like Altamirano due to the lead.
Head-to-Head
Guaraní and Universidad de Chile have met three times recently. La U won 5-0 in the first leg on July 17, 2025, per web sources, and 4-2 on aggregate in the 2014 Copa Libertadores qualifiers (1-0 home, 3-2 away), per web sources. Matches average 3.7 goals, with 100% over 2.5 goals and 33% both teams scoring (BTTS), reflecting La U’s dominance.
Predicted Score: Guaraní CA 1-2 Universidad de Chile (Universidad de Chile advances 7-1 on aggregate)
This second leg on July 24, 2025, at Estadio Rogelio Livieres, Asunción, at 10:00 PM UTC (6:00 PM EDT), sees Guaraní facing a near-impossible task, per web sources. Guaraní’s Manzur and Prieto face La U’s Aránguiz and Assadi, with Guaraní’s home crowd pushing for pride against La U’s likely rotated squad. La U are favorites (-150 odds) to win the match, with Guaraní at +350 and a draw at +260, per web sources. Trends (Guaraní: 60% over 2.5 goals at home; La U: 80% over 2.5 away) suggest goals, per web sources. Referee Raphael Claus may issue cards in the 22°C evening if Guaraní’s desperation leads to fouls. Guaraní may score through Manzur, but La U’s Guerra or a substitute is likely to net. La U’s first-leg lead and quality should secure a win, advancing comfortably to face Independiente.
