Betting on Club Deportivo Universidad Catolica
Universidad Catolica has had a rollercoaster season, with highs and lows. Despite fighting for the top positions in the league, its early elimination in the Copa Sudamericana hit hard on the fans, who are not at all satisfied with the team’s performance.
Despite the criticism, the team has gone seven games without a loss. However, in its last three games, it has struggled more than usual, since only managed to draw, including the latest derby against Colo-Colo. In that match, despite playing the entire second half with one man more, it couldn’t make a difference.
This is uncommon for the Cruzados, as it has showcased its offensive prowess throughout the tournament. With 22 goals, it is the highest-scoring team in the competition. Additionally, with only 13 goals conceded, it has achieved a goal difference of +9, making it the best team in that aspect.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Matías Dituro; Daniel González, Branco Ampuero, Alfonso Parot; Mauricio Isla, Ignacio Saavedra, Byron González, Eugenio Mena; Alexander Aravena, Fernando Zampedri, Cristián Cuevas.
Betting on Club Deportivo O’Higgins
O’Higgins couldn’t have picked a better time for this game. After almost three months without a win, the team managed to secure a victory against Union La Calera in its last match, which was played away from home. This win is undoubtedly a breath of fresh air for the team, as it had gone seven games without a win in the tournament.
This season has been tough for O’Higgins, with three wins, three draws, and four losses. Now, it faces another away game, a scenario in which it has managed to secure two out of the three victories it has in the tournament. Despite the pressure from the rival fans, the team will try to stay strong and come out on top.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Ignacio González; Fabián Hormazábal, Nicolás Thaller, Brian Torrealba, Diego González; Matías Marín, Pablo Hernández, Diego Fernández, Facundo Castro; Arnaldo Castillo, Matías Donoso.
JefeBet Prediction
The games between these teams are always heated and intense, even though it’s far from being a derby. Fans and players alike always get pumped up during the 90-minute match, and this one will be no exception.
Despite O’Higgins winning its previous game, Universidad Catolica has shown more consistency and a higher level of play. Therefore, at JefeBet, we expect a close victory for the home team in this match.
