The 2023 Chilean Primera Division season (“First Division” in Spanish) is just around the corner, and Unión La Calera wants to be an important part of the tournament that will begin on February 22 this year.
After several campaigns being a regular participant in continental competitions representing Chile, the Cementeros‘ tenth place finish in the last tournament kept them away from these events.
To prevent this from happening again, the club has brought in a good number of reinforcements and a new coach, Gerardo Ameli, an Argentinean with two campaigns of experience in Chilean soccer.
Without further ado, JefeBet tells you how Unión La Calera arrives to this new edition of the Chilean Primera Division. Keep reading to find out more.
Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for Unión La Calera for the 2023 Chilean Primera Division
Among the 16 teams that will be in the Chilean Championship 2023, Unión La Calera is the second oldest, as it was founded in 1954, that has yet to win a Primera División title.
The closest it came to doing so was the runner-up finish in 2020, when it was eight points behind Universidad Católica at the top of the standings.
After their return to the top category in 2018, the La Calera side has been consistently in the top positions and continues to dream that in their 26th season, the long-awaited title could come their way.
Unión La Calera in the 2022 Season
After two campaigns finishing in fourth place, and even being second in the 2020 championship, Unión La Calera fell out of the top positions in the Chilean Primera Division after failing to win many matches.
With 12 draws on their record, the second-highest number in the league behind Everton (15), the team from the fifth region has 39 points from 30 games. They also had some problems defending, conceding 40 goals and scoring just 36 goals.

JefeBet Prediction
The board of Unión La Calera knows that last campaign’s results could have been better, and for that reason they made important moves in the market with the mission of strengthening certain areas of the team.
In addition to Ameli’s arrival, the team’s big signing is Argentine Diego Buonanotte, who arrives to be the team’s number 10 and to try to improve an attack that was not as productive last campaign.
Prediction: Copa Libertadores places (2024).
