Estudiantes will welcome Everton to the Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi for the second leg of their Copa Libertadores qualifier on Wednesday.
The hosts hold a narrow advantage in the tie, having secured a 1-0 away victory in the first leg last week. Matias Pellegrini stepped off the bench and scored a 79th-minute winner to help his side leave Chile with a crucial victory.
They followed up their continental win with a 1-0 defeat to Boca Juniors on home turf in the Copa de la Liga Profesional. Luis Advincula's second-half strike was the difference between the two sides.
Everton returned to winning ways in the Chilean Primera Division. Lucas Di Yorio's 57th-minute goal helped his side secure a 1-0 away win over Universidad Catolica.
The winner of the tie will secure automatic qualification to the group stage of the Copa Libertadores.
