WLDDDW

Universidad Católica will go into this meeting after a 2-0 Campeonato Nacional win in the defeat of Cobresal in their previous outing.

The only name on the scoresheet from Universidad Católica was Fernando Zampedri (30').

A series of very capable performances by the Universidad Católica defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their last 6 fixtures in total. During the same time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves amounts to 6. It will be interesting to see if that trend will be continued on here.
