The Colo Colo Preview
Colo Colo is going through one of the most cyclothymic starts ever recorded. It made its official debut, defeating Copiapó away by a score of 5-2. However, last week they lost 5-1 away to O’Higgins.
The team coached by Argentine Gustavo Quinteros needs a victory, and the coach received bad news this week since one of his stars, Leonardo Gil, will not be able to play due to lumbar problems, so Jordhy Thompson will take his place.
Despite losing this important player as well as the last game, Quinteros will repeat the same scheme and almost all the same starters from the first two matchdays.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Brayan Cortés; Jeyson Rojas, Maximiliano Falcón, Ramiro González Hernández, Erick Wiemberg; Jordhy Thompson, César Fuentes, Esteban Pavez; Marcos Bolados, Matías Moya, Leandro Benegas.
Nublense preview
Ñublense has a perfect record after winning its two matches: the first, against Unión Española, as a visitor and by 1-0; and the second, against Magallanes, by 3-2 at its stadium. The latter was not just another duel, since it was a show of character by the team, which after being 1-2 down, managed to turn it around in stoppage time with goals by Patricio Rubio in the 93rd and 98th minutes.
However, that battle left after-effects for the visit to Chile’s Monumental, as Hernán Muñoz was shown the red card, so he will not be an option even as a substitute for coach Jaime García Arévalo.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Nicola Pérez; Bernardo Cerezo, Rafael Caroca, Lucas Nicolás Abascia, Juan Córdova; Jorge Neira, Robinson Zúñiga, Juan Leiva; Bayron Muñoz, Alex Voissin, Andrés Vilches.
JefeBet Prediction
It will be a fought match at the Monumental in Santiago. Both have good teams, but Colo Colo exposed their weaknesses. For this reason, and because Ñublense proved to be a solid team, at JefeBet we believe it will be a draw.
Prediction: Colo Colo and Ñublense draw 1-1.
