This may be the last chance for both teams to fight for the second place in Group H (almost assuming that the first will be Flamengo) and thus access the round of 16 of this 2022 Copa Libertadores. The game will be interesting because both need victory and neither of them would benefit from a draw.
U. Catolica have 3 points, so by winning (and if Talleres loses to Flamengo) they could equal the Argentine team in points and be in a better position for the last two games. The Peruvians have it a bit more difficult: with the victory they will equal their rivals in this game by 3 points, and they should try to win the remaining two, one of which will be against Flamengo. In that situation, perhaps the best thing would be to aspire to third place to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana, although for this they will still need victory.
