Unión Española

WDLLLW

Unión Española, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 2-5 Campeonato Nacional triumph over Huachipato.

For Unión Española, the goalscorers were Octavio Rivero (31') and Rodrigo Piñeiro (36', 80'). Juan Sánchez Sotelo (64') was the scorer for Huachipato.

It has not been often in recent times that Unión Española have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Unión Española have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 11 goals in the process. That kind of trend might not be continued here, of course.

Universidad de Chile

LWDLLL 📉

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Colo-Colo in Campeonato Nacional action, Universidad de Chile will be hoping to turn things around here.

Juan Lucero (23', 81') and Leonardo Gil (62') scored for Colo-Colo.

The numbers tell their own story, and Universidad de Chile have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 8 goals in all. In defence, Universidad de Chile have clearly had some problems.

The Unión Española boss Ronald Fuentes will be thankful to have no fitness worries to speak of before this game thanks to a completely injury-free group available to choose from.

🗞️ Team News: Universidad de Chile

Universidad de Chile boss Héctor Caputto Gómez has to choose a team with limited availability. Nery Domínguez (Torn muscle bundle) and Luis Casanova (Ruptured cruciate ligament) are those who can’t be considered.

✨ Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Universidad de Chile will have to perform well to put one past this Unión Española side who we think might well score at least once to put them ahead.

We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought 1-0 victory for Unión Española at the end of the 90 minutes.

Hoping for a good game.
