Betting on Colo Colo (-150 at Codere)
In the midst of its comeback attempt in the Chilean League to win the Chilean championship, Colo Colo also has its eye on the current edition of the Copa Chile.
After being eliminated in the previous edition in the round of 16 by Ñublense, the Colo Colo team has a great opportunity to make it to the semifinals, as it only needs a victory on its home field to do so.
This season, when playing at home, Colo Colo has only suffered two defeats in the Chilean tournament and is one of the three teams that has conceded the fewest amount of goals at home, with only eight goals against.
In general, the Colo Colo has not lost in six matches, since it was eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana by America-MG, and in the last 12 matches played, the team only has suffered that one loss in Brazil.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Fernando de Paul; Oscar Opazo, Alan Saldivia, Maximiliano Falcón, Agustín Bouzat; Esteban Pávez, César Fuentes, Carlos Palacios; Leonardo Gil, Jordhy Thompson, Damián Pizarro.
Final Leg Central-North Zone
Betting on Universidad Católica (+380 on Codere)
The terrible moment that Universidad Católica is going through in the local tournament was undoubtedly reflected on this Wednesday’s match, when the team failed to go beyond a draw against Colo Colo at home.
Universidad Católica has just achieved two wins, one of them on penalties, in its last eight matches, while in the Chilean League, the team has won just two of its last 12 matches.
The problem for Universidad Católica is its attack, seems to have lost the driving force that made it run smoothly, and in the last four matches, across all competitions, the team has not been able to find the back of the net.
To make matters worse, the team has failed to score in eight out of its last 10 matches, and it has not won an away game in the Chilean League for the past four dates.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Nicolás Peranic; Byron Nieto, Gary Kagelmacher, Branco Ampuero; Alfonso Parot; Brayan Rovira, Ignacio Saavedra, Gonzalo Tapia; Clemente Montes, Alexander Aravena, Fernando Zampedri.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Necaxa vs Tigres
All the signs seem to point out that the team that qualifies for the semifinal of the Chilean Cup will do so in a game with few goals scored.
After the 0-0 draw in the first leg this Sunday at the Monumental, the score should not change much. Colo Colo’s defense has been impeccable at home, while Universidad Católica’s offense seems to have forgotten how to score goals.
To this we can add that in the last eight matches that these teams have played at in this venue, the score has ended with two goals or fewer. That’s why, at JefeBet, we advise you to head over to Codere to play the Under of the match, a line that stands at (-139) and that will earn you up to $72 for every $100 betted.
