Betting on Coquimbo Unido
Last Saturday, Coquimbo Unido suffered their second defeat of the year when they fell to Everton by a score of 2-0. The only games in which the Pirates have been shut out without scoring are the two losses they’ve suffered so far.
The 2-1 victory over Universidad Católica was the sole triumph in the four rounds. The team currently has four points, all of which were obtained at home, where they have only let up one of the five goals it has allowed overall.
They have three home games without a loss in all competitions; during that time, they obtained one victory and two ties. In each of the three games, both teams have scored.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Diego Sánchez; Juan Cornejo, Diego Carrasco, Bruno Cabrera, Ignacio Mesina; Matías Palavecino, Dylan Glaby, Sebastián Galani, Levit Béjar; Rubén Farfán, Waldimir Cid.
Betting on Huachipato
Huachipato has been flawless in the campaign, winning all three of their matches played, making them the only team to have achieved perfection thus far. Although they still have one game pending, their impressive performances have allowed them to sit atop the standings with nine points.
The Acerero team, along with O’Higgins, have been strong in defense, having conceded only two goals so far. In their most recent game, they recorded their first clean sheet in a 1-0 victory over O’Higgins.
As they embark on their third away game of the campaign, the Steelers will be hoping to maintain their good form. Prior to their first away win of the campaign, they had endured a seven-game winless streak since August 2022.
Probable lineup (4-3-1-2): Gabriel Castellón; Joaquín Gutiérrez, Benjamín Gazzolo, Nicolás Ramírez, Nicolás Baeza; Javier Altamirano, Claudio Sepúlveda, Jimmy Martínez; Brayan Palmezano; Cris Martínez, Mateo Acosta.
JefeBet Prediction
Having been out of action for the last week, Huachipato may be considered to have lost the rhythm it had been showing in its league matches. However, it is the best away team of the campaign, and in general the best team so far, and cannot be underestimated. Therefore, here we could expect a victory for the Acereros.
Prediction: Victory for Huachipato by a score of 0-1.
