"Estudiantes are very good finalists. Against both us and Nacional they demonstrated that they are a very good team," said Da Silva.
The Argentine outfit defeated Defensor Sporting 1-0 in Montevideo, and won by the same scoreline in La Plata, in the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores.
Against Nacional, Estudiantes won 1-0 at home and 2-1 away, last Wednesday in Montevideo.
"Estudiantes showed, once again, that they are a solid team, even with the absence of [Juan Sebastian] Veron."
Veron missed the clash with Nacional and is in doubt for the first leg of the final of the Copa Libertadores next week.
Da Silva concluded: "Estudiantes may not be a spectacular team, but they have done their homework very well. They are well organised and everyone works hard."
