The clash between Colo Colo vs Magallanes from matchday 7 of the Chilean Primera Division was set unfold on Magallanes grounds. However, the stadium has a capacity of 3,500 spectators, and so far, the tournament organization has been looking for stadiums with a larger capacity to play their home games.
Given this problem, the Chilean soccer association Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Profesional (ANFP) decided to switch the venue at the request of Magallanes. For this reason, the game will be played at Colo Colo’s home, on March 5, as scheduled.
Surprisingly, the reigning champion and the newly promoted team share the same number of points, and are fighting hard for the lead in the scoreboard. This match will be a test for both teams, especially for Magallanes, which is coming off consecutive victories.
No more waiting! We at JefeBet bring you the betting preview, odds, our prediction and all the information about each team’s situation for the clash between Colo Colo vs Magallanes.

Betting on Colo Colo
Colo Colo is still not showing the potential that granted them the last championship, since they have only managed to win two out of five games played, and registered a draw and two defeats. They have lost their last two games, and will get into their next match after suffering their second loss of the tournament against Coquimbo by 2-3.
They will have to use this unexpected home advantage to their favor, although, clearly, they have not been able to find consistency in their home games until now, since they’ve had mixed outcomes and only one win in three games. The only positive factor for Colo Colo as locals is that they have scored goals in each of their matches.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Brayan Cortés; César Fuentes; César Fuentes, Ramiro González, Daniel Gutiérrez, Erick Wiemberg; Esteban Pavez, Vicente Pizarro; Marcos Bolados, Carlos Palacios, Fabián Castillo; Leandro Benegas.
Betting on Magallanes
Anyone would consider Magallanes the weaker of the two teams, but this newly promoted team seems to have learned from its mistakes and is making steady progress so far. They beat Union Espanola and Cobresal by equal scores of 2-1, their two wins in six games so far.
They come to this match having an enviable state of mind, and a four-game unbeaten streak in all competitions, since in addition to their two league victories, Magallanes managed to advance to the next phase of the Copa Libertadores, defeating Always Ready of Bolivia in the round-robin series. In each of those victories, Magallanes scored two or more goals.
Possible Lineup (4-2-2): Diego Tapia; Marcelo Filla, Albert Acevedo, Nicolás Berardo, Nicolás Crovetto; Iván Vásquez, Alfred Canales, Carlos Villanueva, Thomas Jones; Felipe Flores, Simón Contreras.
JefeBet Prediction
This will be the second match between these two teams during 2023. The first took place for the Supercopa de Chile, and surprisingly, Magallanes won after a penalty shootout.
This time, we could also expect a surprising performance from the newly promoted team. However, due to the fatigue suffered during the midweek match, the odds are leaning towards Colo Colo, although there is a possibility of goals from both teams.
Prediction: Colo Colo wins by 2-1
