Cobresal go into this game after a 2-2 Campeonato Nacional stalemate 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.

Pre-game facts show that Palestino:

• have not registered a win against Cobresal in games played away from home for the previous 5 league games. They'll be keen to stop this run.
• are undefeated in their last 4 away league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: Cobresal

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Cobresal gaffer Gustavo Huerta to contend with from of an almost fully healthy group. Leonardo Valencia (Calf problems) will miss out.

ℹ️ Team News: Palestino

Thanks to a mainly available group of players, there is just the lone fitness problem for the Palestino gaffer Pablo Sánchez to be concerned 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.
