Cobresal go into this game following a 2-2 Campeonato Nacional drawn result vs Universidad de Chile.
Cristian Palacios (2') was the scorer for Universidad de Chile.
It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Cobresal have shown defensive steel. In fact, Cobresal have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, shipping 10 goals during that time. That trend might not be continued into this match, of course.
A look at their previous results shows us that Cobresal:
- haven't been beaten in the league by Palestino in their previous 3 games.
- have not won at home in their last 2 matches in the league.

🗞️
Team News: Cobresal
Looking at personnel, there is just the sole fitness concern for the Cobresal boss Gustavo Huerta to be concerned with from an otherwise complete squad. Leonardo Valencia (Calf problems) will miss out.

Team News: Palestino
Out of a mainly healthy group, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Palestino gaffer Pablo Sánchez to contend with. Nicolás Meza (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing here.

Prediction
We’re thinking that Palestino will have to work hard as a team to break down this Cobresal side who should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.
We’re therefore expecting a good battle with a 1-0 win for Cobresal at the end of this one.
Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
