Betting on Copiapo
In a 2023 full of ups and downs, Copiapo finds itself struggling to stay in the First Division just a year after being promoted. With only 13 points out of 39 possible, they occupy the second to last place in the direct relegation zone.
After a good streak of five games without a loss, Ñublense ended their unbeaten run by defeating them by a minimum difference. That’s why they’ll be returning home to try and get points once again.
This has been a favorable scenario for the León de Atacama, since playing at home they have achieved three draws and one victory. Precisely this victory was in the last home game, where they defeated Coquimbo Unido.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Nelson Espinoza; David Tati, Diego García, Juan Ignacio Sills, Ian Toro; Luis Cabrera, Juan Jaime; Iván Rozas, Isaac Díaz, Reiner Castro; Maximiliano Quinteros.
Betting on Universidad Catolica
Things are not going well for Universidad Catolica under the leadership of Ariel Holan in this 2023 campaign. After being surprisingly eliminated in the preliminary phase of the Copa Sudamericana, the visiting team has been struggling with a drop in performance that is costing them the national tournament.
They have now gone five games without a win, a strange situation for a team that was a four-time champion just a couple of seasons ago. They arrive at this new matchday after two consecutive losses, against O’Higgins by the minimum score and against Huachipato by a score of 1-2.
In their last two away games, the Cruzados have drawn 2-2 against Unión Española and 1-1 against Magallanes. That is why for this new duel, betting on a tie and that both teams score is a good option to take advantage of the odds (+320), receiving 320 dollars for every 100 bets.
Probable lineup (3-4-3): Matías Dituro; Byron Nieto, Branco Ampuero, Alfonso Parot; Eugenio Mena, Ignacio Saavedra, Cesar Pinares, Cristián Cuevas; Alexander Aravena, Fernando Zampedri, Franco Di Santo.
JefeBet Prediction
This match is a good chance for Universidad Catolica to return to winning ways in the Chilean League because the five games without celebrations are hitting hard in their fans, who are demanding the urgent departure of the coach.
On that side, Copiapó has been able to make itself respected playing on the synthetic turf of its stadium, demonstrating that with the support of its fans they are a force to be reckoned. For this reason, JefeBet expects a draw between both teams.
Prediction: Draw (COP 1-1 CAT).
