Betting on Cobresal
As Cobresal approaches their fifth game of the season, they aim to secure their third victory or, at the very least, maintain their positive momentum. The team has been on a good run, having avoided defeat in their last two matches. With two wins, one draw, and one loss, they have accumulated seven points, which places them among the top five teams in the tournament.
They have managed to score in every game, resulting in them having the second-highest number of goals scored, with a total of eight goals, averaging two per game. Additionally, Cobresal has won all four of their home games across various competitions and will be eager to add to their tally.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Leandro Requena; Guillermo Pacheco, Diego Céspedes, Francisco Alarcón, Marcelo Jorquera; Nelson Sepúlveda, Alejandro Camargo, César Munder, Franco García; Gastón Lezcano, Cecilio Waterman.
Betting on Nublense
Last weekend, Ñublense’s previously undefeated record was marred by a 1-0 loss to defending champions Colo Colo. Despite having a game yet to be played, they maintain a positive balance with two wins in three games so far.
The loss marks the end of their impressive unbeaten streak of eight games across all competitions, which began in late September 2022. In their upcoming match, they will once again play in rival territory, where they have had difficulty securing victories in recent times, having won only three of their last 10 away games across all competitions.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Nicola Pérez; Bernardo Cerezo, Rafael Caroca, Lucas Abascia, Juan Córdova; Jorge Henríquez, Manuel Rivera, Juan Leiva; Bayron Oyarzo, Andrés Vilches, Alex Valdéz.
JefeBet Prediction
Cobresal are slight favorites in this match, not only because they have four consecutive home wins, but also because they have not lost in seven games against Ñublense playing on their home turf.
Prediction: Cobresal win by a score of 2-0.
