Betting on Copiapo
Deportes Copiapo has accumulated five defeats: 2-5 against Colo Colo, 0-3 vs Audax Italiano, 1-0 vs Cobresal, 1-3 vs Palestino, and 0-3 vs Union Espanola. This last defeat took place last weekend.
The most worrying aspect of their performance is their defense, given that the team has conceded 18 goals in seven games. This makes it the team with the most conceded goals in the championship.
To dig deeper on the team’s poor performance, until last weekend, it was two points ahead of Union Espanola, its rival that dominated the ball (55% of possession) against Deportes Copiapo’s unsuccessful attempts to reverse this scenario. What’s more, in an attempt to recover the ball, Copiapo committed 13 fouls.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Nélson Espinosa; Jens Buss, Axl Ríos, Juan Sills and Agustín Ortíz; Juan Jaime and Luis Cabrera; Jorge Luna, Iván Rozas and John Valladares; and Maximiliano Quinteros.
Betting on Union La Calera
Union La Calera holds the seventh place in the Chilean League with 10 points, which comes from two wins, four draws, and one defeat. Although the team has conceded 11 goals, it is also true that it is the third highest scoring team (11), which somehow “neutralizes” this defensive weakness… at least up until now.
Last weekend, Union La Calera obtained a valuable draw as the visiting team against Universidad de Chile, which is the current runner-up in the championship. In that match, the team had 48% of ball possession, attempted 11 shots on goal, and six of them were effective. Besides, it committed 11 fouls and won six corners. The scorer that afternoon was César Pérez.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Omar Carabalí; Hernán Lópes, Tomás Astaburuaga and Juan Freytes; John Salas, Nelson Acevedo, César Pérez and Esteban Valencia; Diego Buonanotte, Nicolás Orellana and Matías Cavalleri.
JefeBet Prediction
There is too much difference between both teams. The third highest scorers of the Chilean League face off against the highest scorers, so JefeBet believes that Union La Calera will score a comfortable win.
Prediction: Union La Calera wins by 4-1
