Due to a mostly full-strength squad, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Universidad Católica boss to be concerned with. Valber Huerta (Fitness) misses out for this game.

💡 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Universidad Católica will have a tough ask to get anything against this Palestino outfit who we think will manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We’ve gone for a good tussle with a 1-0 victory for Palestino at the end of this one.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
