The leaders of Group H want to close as high as possible and ensure their place in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Even with a draw they could secure their place in the next phase, but surely the Brazilian team will try to stay on top, even more so playing at home, so they will go for the victory.
In the case of the Universidad Catolica, possibly the last chance to fight for second place in the group stage is at stake. They have 4 points, 3 less than Talleres (the current second) so another result other than victory would make them depend directly on what the Argentine team does against Sporting Cristal.
