Betting on Club Deportivo Palestino
Palestino impressed everyone with its great performance last season, but the departure of its head coach Gustavo Costas was a major blow to the team’s tactics. Now, under the guidance of the new coach, Palestino has struggled to find consistency, and has accumulated three wins, three draws, and two losses.
One major factor in the team’s performance has been its lack of defensive solidity as the season progresses. Despite scoring 12 goals, its defense has not been strong enough, conceding the same amount of goals.
To make matters worse, in the last defeat against Unión Española, the Arabs also suffered the loss of José Bizama, its starting right-back, who suffered a knee ligament injury and will be out for at least six months.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Gonzalo Collao; Bryan Véjar, Fernando Meza, Cristián Suárez, Dilan Zúñiga; Fernando Cornejo, Agustín Farías, Misael Dávila; Bryan Carrasco, Jonathan Benítez, Bruno Barticciotto.
Betting on Deportes Magallanes
Magallanes had an outstanding 2022 season, earning promotion to the Primera Division and winning both the Copa Chile and Supercopa. However, the team’s success has not carried over to the top-flight of Chilean soccer, as it currently holds 14th place with only eight points from 24 possible.
Offensively, Magallanes is the third-lowest scoring team in the league, with just nine goals. Adding to that, its defense has been leaky, having conceded 12 goals.
To make matters worse, in the last match against Universidad Católica, which ended in a draw, Magallanes lost one of its key players and club legends, César Cortés, who announced his retirement from professional soccer.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Gastón Rodríguez; Marcelo Filla, Christian Vilches, Fernando Piñero, Felipe Espinoza; Carlos Villanueva, Tomás Aránguiz, Iván Vásquez; Thomas Jones, Felipe Flores, Julián Alfaro.
JefeBet Prediction
Palestino has shown some irregularity in the current season, but if the team manages to implement the ideas put forward by its coach, it could become a serious contender due to the quality of its players.
Magallanes, on the other hand, has not been able to find its best soccer, and everything seems to indicate that it will have a hard year adapting to the Chilean Primera Division. This is why JefeBet believes that the Palestino vs Magallanes match will be a close victory for Palestino.
Prediction: Palestino Moneyline (PAL 2-1 MAG).
