Betting on Audax Italiano
Audax Italiano is one of the worst teams in the current Chilean First Division soccer campaign. Indeed, the team occupied the second-to-last place in the standings with five points, the result of one win, two draws and four losses. These numbers make the outlook of the team seem quite discouraging. If the tournament were to end at this moment, the Florida team would be relegated.
However, there is one positive fact in all of this, and that is that the team has just attained an important 3-2 victory over Universidad Católica to qualify for the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana.
With this victory, Audax broke a five-match winless streak, and the fact of being a representative of Chilean soccer at an international competition will surely be an extra motivation to face this match. Something to take into consideration is the fact that the Tano team has had difficulties in preventing its opponents from scoring, and that the team has allowed at least one goal in its last six matches in all competitions.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Joaquín Muñoz; Nicolás Fernández, Carlos Labrín, Osvaldo Bosso, Esteban Matus; Fernando Juárez, Marcelo Díaz, Matías Sepúlveda; Gonzalo Ríos, Gonzalo Sosa, Michael Fuentes.
Betting on O’Higgins
O’Higgins made a good impression in its first few games, recording two wins in a row, but then its performance dropped, and now the team has gone four games without a win. In fact, it comes into this matchup having recorded two ties in a row, both by a score of 2-2. Not losing is a positive thing after suffering two defeats in a row.
Although the Capo de Provincia has had many ups and downs, it is the only team that has not lost on the road so far this campaign, recording a win and a draw in two matches played. In addition to maintaining its unbeaten away record, O’Higgins will be looking to return to its winning ways at La Florida after five years.
Probable lineup (4-1-3-2): Nacho González; Fabián Hormazábal, Diego González, Nicolás Thaller, Brian Torrealba; Valentín Larralde; Camilo Moya, Pablo Hernández, Matías Marín; Matías Donoso, Arnaldo Castillo.
JefeBet Prediction
Audax Italiano’s recent victory gives the team the confidence to add its second win of the campaign to its record in this match. Moreover, it is important to remember that Audax has won its last three home matches against O’Higgins.
