Universidad de Chile vs Lanus Prediction and Betting Tips | October 23rd 2025

Universidad de Chile will host Lanus at the Nacional Julio Martinez Pradanos on Thursday in the first leg of the semifinals of the 2025 CONMEBOL Sudamericana campaign. The home side are in fine form at the moment and will be looking to carry that momentum onto the continental stage this week.

They were drawn with Alianza Lima in the quarterfinals of the tournament last month, playing out a goalless draw with the Peruvian outfit in their first-leg clash on the road. They then got the job done on home turf a week later as they won the second leg 2-1 via goals from Lucas Assadi and Javier Altamirano.

Lanus, meanwhile, locked horns with Brazilian giants Fluminense in the previous round of the Copa Sudamericana, winning the first-leg clash 1-0 thanks to a late winner from Marcelino Moreno. They then held on for a 1-1 draw in the second leg, with Dylan Aquino netting a crucial equalizer midway through the second half.

The visitors beat Godoy Cruz in their league clash at the weekend and will be looking to replicate a similar performance at the continental level this week.
