Betting on Unión Española
Unión Española has played five matches, and it still has not won any of them: it tied two (against Everton and Audax Italiano, both 1-1) and lost three (0-1 against Ñublense and Universidad de Chile, and 1-2 against Magallanes). Meanwhile, the team also has a match against Huachipato, the date of which has not yet been confirmed.
The main concern for the team coached by Ronald Fuentes is its lack of goals, as it has scored only three times in five matches. Although the team did not score as many goals (five goals), its collective inability to break the deadlock caused the team to lose several points at the start of the Chilean League.
Probable lineup (4-1-4-1): Sebastián Pérez; Simón Ramírez, Jonathan Villagra, Manuel Fernández, Luis Pavez; Emanuel Cecchini; Thomas Rodríguez, Sebastián Leyton, Ariel Uribe, Vicente Conelli; Leandro Garate.
Betting on Copiapó
The fact that Deportes Copiapó has only attained two points more than its opponent on Saturday is the result of having only one victory (2-1 against . Curicó Unido). Then, the team has reached one draw (2-2 against O Higgins) and it has suffered four defeats (2-5 against Colo Colo, 0-3 against Audax Italiano, 1-0 against Cobresal and 1-3 against Palestino).
Despite the bad start it has had, it is true and it is worth mentioning that the team has not lost for two matches. However, there is one thing that its Argentine coach, Héctor Almandoz, has not been able to solve: its defensive fragility.
In six matches, the team has conceded 15 goals, which makes it the team with the most goals against so far. Moreover, its goal scorer is Maximiliano Quinteros, one of the top scorers in the Chilean League, has only been able to contribute with 3 goals.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Richard Leyton; Jens Buss, Axl Ríos, Juan Sills, Diego García; Juan Jaime, Luis Cabrera; Reiner Castro, Iván Rozas, John Valladares; Maximiliano Quinteros.
JefeBet Prediction
This Union Espanola vs Copiapo will be a vibrant match, as Union Espanola has the opportunity to take advantage of the most beaten defense of the tournament and thus break the goal with its strikers.
However, the visiting team is on the rise, so at JefeBet we believe that the three points will go to Copiapó.
Prediction: Copiapó wins 2-1.
