Cobresal

WWWLWD

Cobresal will play in this match coming off the back of a 0-0 Campeonato Nacional draw versus Universidad de Chile.

Their latest results highlight the fact that not much more can be done by the Cobresal defence. Cobresal have been stingy, resulting in the tally of goals that have gone in at their end during their past six games standing at 3. Despite that, time will tell if that pattern shall continue on in this next game.

ℹ️ Team News: Cobresal

There aren’t many selection issues, with just a single fitness concern for the Cobresal gaffer Gustavo Huerta to be concerned with from of an almost fully healthy group of players. Pablo Cárdenas (Ruptured cruciate ligament) won’t play.

We are thinking that Cobresal should employ a 4-2-3-1 system for the game featuring Leandro Requena, Ivan Contreras, Sebastian Silva, Francisco Alarcon, Marcelo Jorquera, Luis Vasquez, A. M. Camargo, Gaston Lezcano, Leonardo Valencia, Cesar Munder and Cecilio Waterman.

ℹ️ Team News: Unión Española

Unión Española manager Ronald Fuentes has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Stefano Magnasco (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and Octavio Rivero (Ruptured cruciate ligament) are not able to play.

We believe Rojos de Santa Laura might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Sebastian Perez, Simon Ramirez, Jonathan Villagra, Valentin Vidal, Luis Pavez, Sebastian Leyton, Ignacio Nunez, Benjamin Galdames, Bryan Carvallo, Ariel Uribe and Leandro Garate.

🔮 Prediction

We believe that Cobresal have it within them to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

At the other end, Unión Española will not find it easy to score but do we see them scoring as well.

Therefore, we are anticipating a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory for Cobresal when the full-time whistle blows.
