Universidad Catolica Preview
Universidad Católica fulfilled its expectations for the start of the new Chilean League season with a 3-0 win over Everton, and this first victory is an incentive to start fighting for the championship.
With the recent victory, they have now gone three official matches unbeaten, with two wins and a draw, and have not conceded a goal in any of those matches. In this match they will be at home, and it is worth remembering that in the last tournament they had a good performance as locals. Universidad Catolica achieved a record of eight wins, four draws and three defeats in the 15 matches they played in that condition. In addition, they have not lost in their last five league games at their home stadium.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Matías Dituro, Eugenio Mena, Eugenio Mena, Gary Kagelmacher, Branco Ampuero, Mauricio Isla, Ignacio Saavedra, César Pinares, Gonzalo Tapia, Alexander Aravena, Fernando Zampedri, Franco Di Santo
Curicó Unido Preview
Curicó Unido was not able to be champion last season, but it was fighting among the first places in the standings until the end of the tournament. It seems that the objective remains the same for this new campaign and has already begun with the first three points in the bag by beating Coquimbo by a score of 1-0.
They finished 2022 with four games without a win, with three draws and one defeat. However, they are now showing that they have the level to get back to the top of the standings. Although they have not won in their last seven away games in all competitions, they have drawn in their last four, so the recent win may give them enough motivation to pick up points in this new match.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Fabián Cerda, Cristopher Barrera, Franco Bechtholdt, Kannet Lara Arbunic, Ronald de la Fuente, Ronnie Albornoz, Diego Urzúa, Felipe Fritz, Jason Flores, Tobías Figueroa, Federico Castro.
JefeBet Prediction
Universidad Católica comes into this game as the favorite, and this is largely due to the fact that they will be at home and in recent times they have made their stadium a fortress. In addition, they have won the last two league matches against Curicó Unido at this stadium.
Prediction: Universidad Católica wins by a score of 2-1.
