Betting on Magallanes
Magallanes is currently ranked in 13th place in Chile’s main tournament standings. Although the season has recently started, it is clear that this team should have shown more by now. In its first five matches, Nicolás Núñez’s team managed to attain only one win , which came against Unión Española in its most recent match.
The San Bernardo squad managed to score a goal (Thomas Jones) and it was fortunate that the opposing team scored an own goal. Still, the importance of this result was that the team managed to get out of the relegation zone and that it attained its first three points of 2023. Moreover, Magallanes is coming off a solid 3-0 win over Always Ready in the first leg of stage 2 of the Copa Libertadores.
The Magallanes vs Cobresal match will be very important to continue building a profitable path and accumulating points that will allow the team to be higher in the classification table.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Gastón Rodríguez; Fernando Piñero, Matías Vásquez, Christian Vilches, Felipe Espinoza; Tomás Aránguiz, Carlos Villanueva, Thomas Jones; Julián Alfaro, César Cortés, Felipe Cadenazzi.
Betting on Cobresal
The team coached by Chilean Gustavo Huerta has had a discreet performance, losing only one match so far. In previous matches the team has played, it has won against Union La Calera and Copiapó, and it drew against U. Católica and Ñublense.
It is expected that in this Magallanes vs Cobresal clash, the Mineros are able to come out on top with the support of Gastón Lezcano, who has shone in the team and who is currently among the top scorers because of the three goals he has scored in the five matches his team has played so far.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Leandro Requena; Guillermo Pacheco, Diego Céspedes, Francisco Alarcón, Marcelo Jorquera; Nelson Sepúlveda, Alejandro Camargo; Gastón Lezcano, Leonardo Valencia, César Munder; Cecilio Waterman.
JefeBet Prediction
Considering its first clashes, we believe that it will be the visiting team who will win this Magallanes vs Cobresal match. Although it is still too early to rule out a team completely, Magallanes has not been performing well so far this season.
On the contrary, Cobresal has shown good performances and proactivity in the matches it has played. Indeed, in 4 out of 5 matches it has played, it was the first team to score a goal.
Prediction: Cobresal win 2-1.
