Betting on Union la Calera
Union La Calera’s season has not been bad so far and, in fact, it could be much better if the team showed itself certain in front of the goal.
After eight matches played, Gerardo Ameli’s team is in ninth place in the standings with 11 points, and is also tied with three other teams with the same number of points.
However, as we mentioned, had it not been for the fact that five of the team’s matches ended in draws, the Cementeros would be a little higher in the standings, in the places that will give it a continental berth.
After losing to Cobresal on the first matchday of the season, the La Calera team has not been defeated again and has accumulated four draws in a row.
This parity in results has them with 11 goals for and 11 against, while its two wins this season were attained both in front of its fanbase and both by a score of 3-2.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Omar Carabalí; Hernán Lópes, Tomás Astaburuaga, John Salas, Leandro Díaz; Nelson Acevedo, Diego Buonanotte, Esteban Valencia; César Pérez, Lucas Passerini, Matías Cavalleri.
Betting on Audax Italiano
After not losing its first two matches of the season, Audax Italiano has fallen to the bottom of the Chilean Primera Division standings.
The team coached by Manuel Fernández has now gone six games without a win, suffering four defeats and reaching two draws in that period. This performance has them with six points in the championship and only one ahead of bottom-placed Copiapó.
The problem with Audax is simple: with 14 goals conceded, the team has the third defense with the highest amount of goals conceded in the championship. Also, the team has recorded three goals against in its last two away matches.
In fact, in four of its matches played away, Audax Italiano only earned one point, as it happened when the team drew with Palestino on matchday 1. From then on, Audax lost the other three matches, and together with Cobresal, are the clubs that have allowed the most goals away from home with nine.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Joaquín Muñoz; Nicolás Fernández, Carlos Labrin, Osvaldo Bosso, Estaban Matus; Marcelo Díaz, Fernando Juárez, Matías Sepúlveda; Luis Riveros, Gonzalo Sosa, Gonzalo Ríos.
JefeBet Prediction
Although Unión La Calera needs to be a little more convincing in front of goal, it has only managed to keep a clean sheet on one occasion, and that was in its draw with Copiapó last time out.
Audax Italiano’s defensive problems have also made its matches quite entertaining. The team has scored at least two goals in five of its eight meetings, but has not failed to score in any of its eight matches played this season.
As for the direct confrontations between these two teams, in five of the last seven clashes the two teams have scored goals.
Prediction: Both teams score (ULC 2 – AUD 2).
