Everton Viña del Mar

LWLWDD ⚖

Everton Viña del Mar head into this match coming off the back of a 1-1 Campeonato Nacional drawn game versus O'Higgins.

It’s been all too rare in recent times where Everton Viña del Mar have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. In fact, Everton Viña del Mar have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 10 goals in the process.

Deportes Copiapó

DDWWLL ⚖

Since a loss in their previous game against Universidad Católica in Campeonato Nacional action, Deportes Copiapó and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

Fernando Zampedri (28', 45') and César Pinares (74') scored for Universidad Católica.

In 5 of the prior 6 clashes featuring Deportes Copiapó, a comparatively low number of goals have been scored between them and their opposition. The overall average goals scored per game in that period works out to a paltry 1.83, with the average goals for León de Atacama equalling 0.83. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend can be continued on in this game.

📰 Team News: Everton Viña del Mar

The Everton Viña del Mar manager Francisco Meneghini has a full complement, with no fitness concerns whatsoever before this game thanks to a completely injury-free squad available to choose from.

In all likelihood, Ruleteros look set to employ a 3-4-1-2 system for this game and select Franco Torgnascioli, Rodrigo Echeverria, J. Alberto Barroso, Diego Oyarzun, Felipe Campos, Cristian Riquelme, Benjamin Berrios, Alvaro Madrid, Lautaro Tello, Victor Ismael Sosa and Sebastian Saez.

📰 Team News: Deportes Copiapó

Due to a mostly healthy group, there’s just a single fitness worry for the Deportes Copiapó gaffer Héctor Almandoz to contend with. Nelson Espinoza (Fracture of the orbit) won’t be in action.

We reckon that León de Atacama seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system using Richard Leyton, Agustin Ortiz, Juan Contreras, Axl Rios, Ian Toro, Marco Medel, Luis Cabrera, Jorge Luis Luna, Ivan Rozas, Manuel Lopez and M. Quinteros.

✨ Prediction

In this game, Everton Viña del Mar are likely to stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

At the same time, Deportes Copiapó will be up against it to break down their defence but do we see them hitting back at some stage.

We can therefore see a comfortable 3-1 margin for Everton Viña del Mar when all’s said and done.
