The Ñublense boss Jaime García does not have any fitness worries to speak of ahead of this match with a completely injury-free group to pick from. Lorenzo Reyes cannot play in this game through suspension.

📰 Team News: Palestino

Out of a mainly available squad, there is only a single fitness worry for the Palestino boss Pablo Sánchez to be concerned about. Nicolás Meza (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing here.

💡 Prediction

We feel that Palestino and Ñublense should both get enough opportunities to score, although it’s hard to separate the two.

We’ll see, but this looks like it could end up all-square. That is why we are leaning toward a hard-fought 1-1 scoreline when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
