Betting on Colo Colo
The Cacique is eighth in the Chilean Primera Division standings with seven points that were attained in two wins, one loss and one draw. Its last result was a draw against Everton, in a match that finished with a 1-1 score.
Something that must be kept in mind is that the match against Everton was the 17th match Colo Colo has gone without being defeated at home, which is equivalent to an undefeated record of 15 months, with 12 wins and five draws. So, when was the last time Colo Colo lost at home? The team lost at home on November 28, 2021, by a 1-0 score against Unión Española.
Moreover, in 29 games played at Macul, the team had an unbeaten record in 19 of them. In the remaining 10 games, it only allowed a total of 10 goals. This indicates that it has never allowed two goals in a single match. The last time it happenes was on May 8, 2021, in a 1-2 loss to Palestino.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Brayan Cortés; Jeyson Rojas, Daniel Gutiérrez, Ramiro Hernández and Erick Wiemberg; César Fuentes and Esteban Pavez; Marcos Bolados, Marco Rojas and Fabián Castillo; and Leandro Benegas.
Betting on Coquimbo Unido
The campaign that the Pirata is sustaining up to this point is not good. The team has only obtained four points, as a result of one win, one draw and three defeats. One of those loses was a 2-1 defeat against Huachipato, the leader in the standings, last week. Undoubtedly, this is a start in the Primera Division that no one expected after an excellent preseason.
A group of fans, known as ultras, disrupted a team training session this week to demand that the players show more determination on the field after their poor performance left a negative impression.
The incident was recorded in a video, which went viral in a matter of minutes, and in which the hooded men are seen threatening the players. “If someone is making trouble, we’ll take him out,” is one of the warnings the fans made to the staff.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Diego Sánchez Carvajal; Ignacio Mesina, Bruno Cabrera, Diego Carrasco Muñoz and Juan Cornejo; Diego Ignacio Orellana Riffo, Sebastián Galani, Dylan Glaby and Matías Palavecino; Rubén Farfán and Rodrigo Holgado.
JefeBet Prediction
The recent history between Colo Colo vs Coquimbo Unido indicates that out of the last 20 matches they have played against each other, the Cacique has won 14, and its rival has won only two. Because this team has not lost at home for a long time, and because the visiting team is going through a delicate moment, at JefeBet we believe that Colo Colo will win the match with a meaningful difference in goals.
Prediction: Colo Colo wins 2-0.
