MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

Universidad Chile has tied their 2 matches in the current Chile Division 1. Their last match against La Serena was pretty controversial, with a puzzling call by referee Angelo Hermosilla in the last minutes that could have given the win to Universidad Chile.

 

While the team is still shaking up from their Copa Libertadores elimination, there are some things to celebrate. Free agent Marcelo Canete has shown nice assists and offensive skills, striker Angelo Henriquez continues to prove why he was selected for the Chilean national team and they are finally getting a groove after their Covid issues.

 

Universidad Chile finished third in last season’s tournament, scoring 49 goals.

 

Union Espanola is on a downwards spiral after a promising start, with a 3-1 win against Santiago Wanderers in the league. From that point on, things went south quickly by 2 losses in the Chile Division 1.

 

Universidad Chile will deepen Union Espanola’s troubled days with a home win after finally getting some time to get their health and form back.
