📏 Form Guide

O'Higgins
DWLWDL ⚖
O'Higgins will be hoping to bounce back here following the 2-0 Campeonato Nacional loss in their previous game against Coquimbo Unido.
O'Higgins have hit the target 6 times over their past 6 outings. Conversely, the tally of goals that have been scored against them in those games is 6.
Universidad Católica
DWDWWL
Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Universidad de Chile in Campeonato Nacional competition, Universidad Católica will be aiming to make amends here.
Rodrigo Contreras (90') was the scorer for Universidad de Chile.
The numbers tell their own story, and Universidad Católica have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 5 goals in all. In defence, Universidad Católica certainly have room for improvement.
↔️ Head to head
Looking at their past head-to-head meetings going back to 19/03/2022 shows us that O'Higgins have won 2 of these and Universidad Católica 3, with the tally of drawn matches standing at 1.
A sum of 18 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 7 of them from Capo de Provincia and 11 netted by Cruzados. The average goals per game has been 3.
The previous league fixture between these sides was Campeonato Nacional match day 27 on 06/10/2024 which finished with the scoreline of O'Higgins 0-2 Universidad Católica.
ℹ️ Team News: O'Higgins
It’s our opinion that Capo de Provincia will probably employ a 4-2-3-1 system for the game with Jorge Deschamps, Moises Gonzalez, Alan Robledo, Juan Diaz, Luis Pavez, Juan Leiva, Matias Lugo, Felipe Faundez, Bryan Rabello, Rodrigo Godoy and Esteban Calderon.
ℹ️ Team News: Universidad Católica
Universidad Católica has to choose a team with limited availability. Valber Huerta (Fitness) and Thomas Gillier (Tendon tear) are not ready for selection.
We are inclined to think that Cruzados will likely play in a 4-1-4-1 system, going with Vicente Bernedo, Branco Ampuero, Gary Medel, Daniel Gonzalez, Eugenio Mena, Jhojan Valencia, Clemente Montes, Jader Barbosa, Fernando Zuqui, Cristian Cuevas and Fernando Zampedri.
✨ Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Universidad Católica and O'Higgins are probably both going to find scoring goals difficult here.
There should be little in it, and a draw looks quite a realistic result. We’re therefore tipping a 0-0 score at the end of the 90 minutes.
