Estudiantes eye first Libertadores semi in 17 years at Corinthians | OneFootball

Estudiantes de La Plata visit Corinthians on Wednesday for the Copa Libertadores quarter-final second leg, seeking a first semi-final in 17 years after a 1-1 first leg.

According to SuperDepor.com, kick-off is at 21:30 at the Neo Química Arena, live on Fox Sports and Disney+ Premium, with Venezuelan Jesús Valenzuela as referee and Juan Soto on VAR.

In the first meeting, Estudiantes struck early through Alexis Castro, then the Timao levelled through Kaio César.

Domestically, Estudiantes beat Platense 2-1 in round nine of the Torneo Clausura, moving close to the playoff spots. A place in the last four would be their first since 2009, the year they lifted the trophy.

Corinthians advanced from a demanding round of 16 against Rosario Central, but their Brasileirao campaign is faltering and they sit 13th, with relegation still a concern.

Probable Corinthians XI: Hugo Souza, Matheus Bidú, Gustavo Henrique, Gabriel Paulista, Matheuzinho, André Carrillo, Breno Bidon, Allan Souza, Rodrigo Garro, Memphis Depay, Kaio César, coached by Fernando Diniz. Probable Estudiantes XI: Fernando Muslera, Eric Meza, Leandro González Pírez, Santiago Núñez, Eros Mancuso, Ezequiel Piovi, Alexis Castro, Joaquín Tobio Burgos, Joaquín Correa, Baltasar Rodríguez, Guido Carrillo, coached by Alexander Medina.
