The Unión Española team will enter this match with the right foot after a convincing 3-0 victory against Audax in the Chilean League. This triumph propelled it to 4th place in the league standings. It is worth mentioning that the Hispanos have only lost one of its last 12 official matches, with five of their six most recent games resulting in clean sheets.

Round of 16
Betting on Magallanes ( +475 at Codere)
Magallanes is the reigning champion of the Copa Chile and also earned promotion to the first division last season, but its 2023 campaign is far from being equally memorable. The team is second to last in the Chilean League with a record of four wins, four draws, and 11 losses. Despite this, the team will arrive to this match feeling motivated after defeating Universidad de Chile 2-1 in its last match played.
As for the Copa Chile, the team has had favorable matchups, first defeating Ferroviario Comercial 6-0 and then Santa Cruz 3-0. However, having to play this match away will work against the team, as it has lost six of its last ten games played on rival territory.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Diego Tapia; Fernando Piñero, Albert Acevedo, Nicolás Berardo; Matías Vásquez, Alfred Canales, Tomás Aránguiz, Nicolás Crovetto; Julián Alfaro, Joaquín Larrivey, Manuel Vicuña.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Union Espanola vs Magallanes
The previous match between these two clubs in 2023 ended in a 1-2 victory for Magallanes, but that was earlier this year, and Unión Española is a completely different team now compared to back then.
Playing at home, Unión Española has won three matches in a row, all without conceding any goals and winning by a margin of two or more. In fact, the last time this team lost at home was against Magallanes in that previously mentioned clash.
Unión Española’s defensive solidity works against Magallanes, which has only managed to keep a clean sheet once while playing away since its promotion to the top division.Therefore, we believe that the home team will come out on top in this match and secure its spot in the next stage.
