Betting on Magallanes
Magallanes’ return to the top flight has not been easy so far, arriving here just one point away from relegation after only attaining seven points from its first seven matches. Magallanes will try to recover from a hard blow suffered in midweek, when it was eliminated in the third stage of the qualifying round of the Copa Libertadores. The team lost 2-0 to Ind. Medellín, Colombia..
As far as the domestic tournament is concerned, the Academia ‘s most recent result was a 2-0 defeat against Colo Colo a couple of weeks ago. If the team is to get back on track, Nicolás Núñez’s side will have to improve its defensive performance, as it has yet to keep a clean sheet in the league so far this season.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Gastón Rodríguez; Marcelo Filla, Christian Vilches, Fernando Piñero, Felipe Espinoza; Carlos Villanueva, Tomás Aránguiz, César Cortés; Thomas Jones, Felipe Flores, Julián Alfaro.
Betting on Universidad Catolica
Universidad Católica’s season has had a bittersweet taste so far, as it was eliminated by Audax in the qualifying round of the Copa Sudamericana. Regardless, the team arrives to this matchday 9 of the Chilean Primera Division at the top of the standings with 17 points out of a possible 24 after recovering from a two-goal deficit to win the Copa Sudamericana, and a 2-2 draw with U. Española last week.
The Cruzados‘ main weapon this season has been their offense, as their 21 goals scored after eight matches is by far the highest amount in the league. However, the team knows it must do better defensively, considering that it has conceded 12 goals in the tournament and that it has not kept a clean sheet in its last nine official matches.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Matías Dituro; Mauricio Isla, Guillermo Burdisso, Gary Kagelmacher, Eugenio Mena; Ignacio Saavedra, Brayan Rovira, César Pinares, Alexander Aravena; Eugenio Mena, Fernando Zampedri.
JefeBet Prediction
Although Magallanes has not lost in its last four home matches, its recent performance is a cause for concern, especially on defense, which will surely make the team struggle to stop a Universidad Católica that is the league’s best offensive team.
U. Católica has won three of its four away matches in the Chilean Primera Division this year, so facing an inferior team, the squad hoped to maintain its performance and take another win from this match.
Prediction: Universidad Católica Moneyline (MAG 1-3 CAT).
