Betting on Huachipato FC
Huachipato had a fantastic start to the year under the guidance of Gustavo Álvarez, fighting for the top spot in the league with a record of six wins and only two losses in Chilean soccer.
However, their last match against Colo Colo didn’t go as planned for the southern Chilean team, as they were defeated at home by the slightest of margins. It was their first loss as hosts.
As JefeBet predicted, not including Javier Altamirano in the lineup was a significant setback for the team. The absence of the midfielder had a considerable impact on their ability to create chances and build up play.
Consequently, their offensive line couldn’t generate as many opportunities as they usually do and struggled to break through the opposition’s defense. It’s worth noting that Huachipato’s attack is one of their main weapons, as they are the third-highest scoring team with 15 goals.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Gabriel Castellón; Joaquín Gutiérrez, Renzo Malanca, Nicolás Ramírez, Antonio Castillo; Jimmy Martínez, Javier Altamirano, Nicolás Baeza; Brayan Palmesano, Maximiliano Rodríguez, Cris Martínez.
Betting on Union Espanola
Union Espanola had a dismal start to their season, which was especially disappointing considering their aspirations to contend for the title. The Santiago-based team failed to win any of their first five matches, suffering three defeats and two draws that sent them plummeting to the bottom of the standings.
Despite this rough patch, they seem to have found their footing and have secured two wins and a draw in their last three games. This impressive streak has helped them climb up the rankings and arrive at their next match in good form. However, to come out on top, they’ll need to break a tough statistic, the team has yet to celebrate a victory playing away from home, with a loss and two draws to their name.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3):Sebastián Pérez; José Tiznado, Jonathan Villagra, Manuel Fernández, Luis Pávez; Valentín Vidal, Ignacio Núñez, Ariel Uribe; Rodrigo Piñeiro, Leandro Gárate, Bastián Yáñez.
JefeBet Prediction
Huachipato has proven to be one of the top teams in the tournament with an outstanding performance. However, their last defeat against Colo Colo left a bitter taste in everyone’s mouth.
On the other hand, Unión Española has been improving steadily, but they have yet to show spectacular skills that could make them a strong contender. That’s why, at JefeBet, we’re expecting an exciting draw in this match-up.
Prediction: Tie Moneyline (HUA 2-2 UNI)
