MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

 

Cobresal are coming off a 2-0 home win over Universidad Chile the last time out and didn’t play last week due to the suspension of their game against Coquimbo, so they’re well rested ahead of another game at home in their altitude. They enter this game in a good run of form since they’ve won three of their last four league matches (W3, L1), and they have also lost just one of their last five league matches at Estadio El Cobre (W3, D1 and L1).

Audax Italiano are coming off a tightly-contested 2-2 draw against Union Espanola the last time out, and that means they now have back-to-back draws following the appointment of Pablo Sanchez as manager – but they’ve also won just once in their last five league matches (W1, D2, L2). As if that wasn’t enough, they’re the worst away side in the league this season with just one win, and including four losses in a row.

Audax Italiano’s road woes and Cobresal’s altitude are enough reasons to believe the hosts will win this contest.

 

HEAD TO HEAD

The recent H2H record between both sides indicates an edge for Audax Italiano since they’ve lost just once in their last five league outings against Cobresal (W3, D1 and L1).
