MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

 

Universidad Catolica secured a massive 2-1 win over La Serena the last time out, and that means they are just one win away from securing the league title for the third year in a row – they hold a five-point lead over La Calera with two games left in the schedule. Universidad Catolica have the best attack and the second-best defence in the league, and they’ve also lost just three league games on the road. They’re also getting healthier at the perfect time.

Union La Calera have been stumbling of late and have no one to blame but themselves for their dip in form – they’re coming off a 1-1 draw against Antofagasta the last time out and that means they’ve taken just two points of their last 12 available (D2, L2). That four-game winless streak has come at the worst possible time for them. As if that wasn’t enough, they’re also winless in four of their last six games away from home (W2, D1 and L3).

Universidad Catolica should take advantage of Union La Calera’s struggles to win this game – and the title.

 

HEAD TO HEAD

The recent H2H record between both sides indicates an edge for Universidad Catolica, as they’re undefeated in seven of their last eight league games against Union La Calera (W5, D2 and L1).
