Universidad de Chile enters the final stretch of the Chilean Championship with ambitious dreams, aiming for a direct spot in the Libertadores, but aware that the path depends on more than just its own strength.

However, the stars of the championship also need to conspire in its favour: a slip-up by O'Higgins will be crucial for its plans to come to fruition. Every move, every midfield battle and every shot on goal takes on extra significance in this decisive scenario.
