Unión Española will be looking for an improved result here following a 1-0 Campeonato Nacional defeat last time out to Cobreloa.

Marco Borgnino (60') scored for Cobreloa.

A common characteristic of more recent Unión Española games is the number of results with a nil in them.

Taking their prior sextet of matches before this one, in 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a losing one. We shall soon find out if that trend can be continued on into this next match.

Ñublense

LDWLWL

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Everton Viña del Mar in Campeonato Nacional competition, Ñublense and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Braian Martínez (10') and Rodrigo Contreras (45', 76') scored for Everton Viña del Mar.

Jaime García's Ñublense have seen their goal attempts be successful a total of 6 times in the course of their most recent sextet of matches. The overall goals that they have conceded during those same clashes equals 8.

↔️ Head to head

Looking at their prior head-to-head clashes stretching back to 07/08/2021 shows that Unión Española have won 4 of these games & Ñublense 2, with the number of drawn games being 0.

A combined sum of 18 goals were scored between them during those clashes, with 8 for Rojos de Santa Laura and 10 netted by Mecánica. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.

The last league contest between these sides was Campeonato Nacional match day 16 on 06/07/2023 when it finished Ñublense 0-1 Unión Española.

📰 Team News: Unión Española

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just one fitness concern for the Unión Española boss Ronald Fuentes to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust group. Vicente Conelli (Cruciate ligament tear) is sidelined.

📋 Team News: Ñublense

With a fully injury-free group available to choose from, the Ñublense manager Jaime García doesn’t have any fitness worries to report ahead of this clash. Bernardo Cerezo cannot play in this game through suspension.

💭 Prediction

When taking everything into account, Ñublense will have to work hard as a team to be putting a goal past this Unión Española lineup who we reckon will be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very even match with a 1-0 win for Unión Española at the end of the 90 minutes.

A close call.
