Universitario de Deportes vs Tolima 27 May 2026 Prediction

Before the final round of the Copa Libertadores group stage, Universitario is third in the table, while Deportes Tolima is second. The home team is only two points behind its opponent. Can the Peruvian side win this match and take the Round of 16 spot?

Universitario

Universitario has been inconsistent. The club has won only three of its last 10 matches across all competitions, with three draws and four losses. However, the picture is much better at home: over the same stretch, the team has won seven times at its own stadium.

Deportes Tolima

Deportes Tolima is going through a difficult run. After a five-match unbeaten streak with four wins and one draw, the team suddenly lost momentum and suffered three straight defeats by a combined score of 1-7. That included a 0-3 loss to Coquimbo Unido in the previous Copa Libertadores round. That match was also played away from home.

Universitario vs Deportes Tolima Prediction: Universitario to Win at 1.96

• Main prediction: Universitario has the home-field advantage in this matchup, and the team has won seven of its last 10 home matches, including a 4-2 victory over Nacional Montevideo in the Copa Libertadores. Deportes Tolima, meanwhile, continues to struggle away from home. The Colombian side has failed to win in nine of its last 10 road matches and lost six of them. Based on that, the pick is Universitario to win at 1.96.
• Total goals prediction: The Colombian side often struggles under away pressure. Deportes Tolima has allowed more than one goal in four of its last five away matches. Universitario attacks actively at home and scores regularly: the Peruvian side has scored in eight of its last 10 home games and netted at least two goals in five of them. That makes Universitario team total over 1.5 at 2.20 a logical option.
