Latest Estudiantes vs Carabobo team information
Estudiantes will be without key striker Guido Carrillo due to a calf injury sustained in the 2-0 defeat to Rosario Central earlier this month.
Midfielder Cristian Medina is also a doubt after coming off injured in the same match. Facundo Farias could be handed his first start for the Libertadores this season.
Two notable attackers, Tiago Palacios and Santiago Ascacibar – who have scored a total of five goals in the tournament – are expected to replace Carrillo to make a difference in this crucial match.
On Carabobo's side, Loureins Martinez remains out long-term with a cruciate ligament injury from January. In addition, the rest of the squad is ready to play.
Edson Tortolero – the club's top scorer in the Libertadores – is likely to continue to start alongside Flabian Londono and Joshuan Berrios in attack.

Latest Estudiantes vs Carabobo football prediction
Estudiantes enter the final round of Copa Libertadores group stage matches in an uncertain position, as they could finish first, second or even third in Group A – with just one point separating the top three teams.
Coach Eduardo Dominguez's team is currently second in the table with 9 points after 5 matches (3 wins, 2 losses), 1 point behind Universidad de Chile and only ahead of Botafogo in goal difference.
As Universidad and Botafogo will face each other in the same match, Estudiantes only need to avoid a defeat to secure a place in the top 2, and they have reason to be confident as their opponent Carabobo has been officially eliminated.
However, Estudiantes' recent form has shown signs of decline. In the last 14 matches in all competitions, they have only won 3, drawn 3 and lost 8. However, in the Libertadores arena, they have shown a different face with 3 wins and 2 draws in the 5 rounds played.
The chance to win all 3 points is even clearer when the opponent Carabobo is definitely eliminated after 5 matches, only has 1 point, scored 2 goals and conceded 11 - 8 points behind Botafogo while only 1 match left.
That poor form has continued across all competitions, with a run of five games without a win. In the first leg in early April, Carabobo also lost 0-2 to Estudiantes despite only having 36% possession and 6 shots compared to the Argentine side's 14.
