Corinthians host Estudiantes with poor Libertadores knockout record at Neo Química Arena | OneFootball

Corinthians host Estudiantes on Wednesday at 21:30 Brasília time after a 1-1 first leg in La Plata, carrying a challenging Libertadores knockout record at Neo Química Arena, where this will be their 11th such match.

According to Globo.com, the club have increased capacity in the South stand by 1,537, taking availability to 49,984 and paving the way for a potential attendance record.

To date they have played 10 home knockout matches in the competition, winning six, drawing two and losing two, which have resulted in six eliminations and four qualifications.

When the second leg was at home, as it is now, they fell five times in seven attempts and progressed twice, against Rosario Central this year and Universidad Central in the 2025 second phase.

In three ties that began at home they advanced twice and went out once. This season at the Arena, including the group stage, they have three wins and one defeat, and since 2014 their Libertadores home record is 17 wins, four draws and seven losses.

Forward Gui Negão said asking Corinthians fans to believe is almost redundant, and he is sure of their backing on Wednesday. Coach Fernando Diniz said Estudiantes are very capable away from home and that his side are preparing to give everything.

The current attendance mark at the ground is 48,196, set in the 2025 Campeonato Paulista final against Palmeiras.
