Estudiantes L.P. take on the visitors Atletico Nacional at "Estadio Ciudad de La Plata" in the round three of the Group stage in the Copa Libertadores. The match will be played in La Plata, Argentina on Thursday, April 20th.
Estudiantes L.P. show solid performance in the Primera Division of Argentina occupying the third place in the standings with 38 points gained and 34-19 goal difference after 20 matchdays. In the Copa Libertadores "El Leon" demonstrates not such convincing results. After two first matches, the team has no points taken after back-to-back defeats to Botafogo RJ 1:2 and Barcelona SC 0:2 sharing the last position in the Group 1 with their upcoming opponent. Concerning matches at their own turf in 2017, Estudiantes L.P. recorded two victories and one defeat in them.

Atletico Nacional are the leader of the Colombian Liga Aguila as the team was not beaten in 12 matchdays and picked up 32 points with 24-4 goal difference. While "Los Verdolagas" show strong play in the Liga Aguila, in the Copa Libertadores they lost two times to Barcelona SC 1:2 and Botafogo RJ 0:2 and keep chances only for taking third position in the Group 1. In 2017 Atletico Nacional conducted eight clashes on the road resulting in four triumphs, two draws and two losses.
The home-field advantage plays an important part in the South America, thus I believe that the Argentineans should take some points in front of their supporters, especially taking into account their suitable form in this part of the season.
Prediction for the match: Estudiantes L.P. to win.
