Estudiantes de La Plata will face Audax Italiano de Chile in search of qualification for the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, as determined this Monday by the draw for the preliminary keys at the Conmebol headquarters.
The “Pincha”, four times champion of the contest, will debut in the 2022 edition of the most important tournament in South America between February 22 and 24 in Santiago de Chile and then, from March 1 to 3, will be local in his new Stadium UNO, which will thus have its international premiere.
Audax Italiano, at that time under the leadership of Argentine Pablo “Vitamina” Sánchez, came third in the 2021 National Championship in Chile behind Universidad Católica and Colo Colo, and thus achieved his third qualification for the Copa Libertadores after a 14-year absence. Now the team is led by Ronald Fuentes, who was announced last week.
Located in the southern part of Santiago, a peculiarity of the Florida Bicentennial Stadium, where Audax plays at home, is that the floor is made of synthetic grass.
