Betting on Nublense
Nublense will play their second game as the local team since matchday 4 game against O’Higgins was suspended due to the strong fires that affected southern Chile.
The team coached by Jaime García has drawn its last two games in the Chilean Primera Division, and holds the seventh place with eight points in the scoreboard, being five points behind the leading team Universidad Catolica.
Throughout the season, Nublense has had a fairly even performance by only failing to score a goal in their match against Colo Colo, on matchday 3. In fact, the five goals they have received so far represent the second lowest amount in the tournament. Besides, the only game they played as the local team, they beat Magallanes by 3-2.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Nicola Pérez; Enzo Guerrero, Rafael Caroca, Lucas Abascia, Raimundo Rebolledo; Lorenzo Reyes, Jorge Henriquez, Alex Valdes; Andrés Vilches, Juan Leiva, Branco Provoste.
Betting on Universidad Catolica
Universidad Catolica climbed to the top of the Chilean Primera Division after beating Palestino last weekend. Universidad Catolica are at the top of the Chilean Primera Division with 13 points, one point above Huachipato and Universidad de Chile. However, it’s worth mentioning that Huachipato have already played two games.
The great performance of Ariel Holan’s team has been the result of a powerful offense that makes them lead the championship with 17 goals scored. No other club has scored more than 10 goals, neither they have scored at least three goals in four of their six matches.
However, it’s not all a bed of roses for Universidad Catolica, since the nine goals they received should raise the alarm within the club, and a decrease in their amount of goals scored could pose a threat. This is reflected, for example, in their only lost away game of the season against Coquimbo by 2-1, the only game they have failed to score in on at least two occasions.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Matías Dituro; Eugenio Mena, Gary Kagelmacher, Guillermo Burdisso, Mauricio Isla; César Pinares, Brayan Rovira, Gonzalo Tapia; Fernando Zampedri, Franco Di Santo, Alexander Aravena.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite Nublense’s good defense so far, Universidad Catolica has proven to have a threatening offensive since the beginning of the season.
The locals, on the other hand, have also scored in four out of five championship matches. Therefore, we will certainly see an entertaining encounter in southern Chile. What’s more, four of the last seven head-to-head clashes between Nublense vs Universidad Catolica have ended with at least three goals on the board.
Prediction: Over (NUB 1 – CAT 2)
