Things are starting to take shape in the Chilean Primera Division after the first four matchdays. We have already seen which are the teams that are coming strong in the fight for the championship, as well as the teams that are looking weaker, and which have shown little so far.
Matchday 5 features Curico Unido vs Copiapo, which could be an appealing match to follow as the newly promoted team is looking for its first win. Meanwhile, Curicó has not been consistent, and since the team already knows what winning implies, it will try to get the three points against a lower level opponent.

Betting on Curicó Unido
Curicó Unido has two wins after four games played in the Chilean League. Unfortunately, the team has not been able to achieve consistency, as it has been alternating positive and negative results. Indeed, it has recently lost by a score of 3-2 to Unión La Calera. Curicó has managed to score goals in each of its matches, but it has only prevented goals from falling into its own net in just one occasion.
The team will be the hosting Copiapó in this match, which could keep the team somewhat at ease, as it attained both of its victories in this tournament on its home field. In fact, the team has only suffered two losses in its last 10 home matches played in all competitions, recording eight wins during that stretch.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Fabián Cerda; Cristopher Barrera, Franco Bechtholdt, Omar Merlo, Ronald de la Fuente; Mario Sandoval, Diego Urzúa, Yerko Leiva; Nicolás Barrios, Diego Coelho, Cristián Zavala.
Betting on Copiapó
Copiapó has still not been able to get into rhythm this season, following its promotion to the Primera Division. The team arrives to this match after suffering four defeats in a row, the highest amount of defeats in the tournament. Also, it is the team with the most defensive problems. It has allowed 12 goals so far, averaging three goals per game.
Copiapó is the worst away team, having lost two matches in that condition, and it is also one of the three teams that has yet to score goals in rival territory. The León de Atacama‘s inconsistency when playing away from home is evident, as it has only attained three wins in 10 matches in all competitions, losing 50% of those clashes.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Richard Leyton; Jens Buss, Diego García, Juan Sills, David Tati; Marcos Medel, Juan Jose Jaime; Isaac Díaz, John Valladares, Iván Rozas; Maximiliano Quinteros
JefeBet Prediction
There is no reason to think that the León de Atacama will end its negative streak in this match, especially considering the strength that Curicó Unido has achieved at home.
Moreover, Curicó has won three of its last five home matches against this rival in all competitions.
Prediction: Curicó Unido win by a score of 3-0.
