MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

 

Audax Italiano are coming off a 1-0 loss against Palestino in their previous league match, and that means they’ve dropped four of their last five league games. Despite the poor form, they have shown improvements in recent weeks and have been recovering key names that were unavailable in recent weeks. Their home record reads W6, D3 and L3.

Universidad Catolica are coming off a 0-0 draw against Universidad Chile the last time out, and that means they have now gone W2, D2, L1 over their last five league matches. One positive aspect about their recent games is the fact that they have been the best team in the league away from home with 21 points out of their first 11 contests away from home this season.

Audax Italiano have the edge of playing at home, are more rested and are healthier. Plus, this game will be played on artificial grass. All those factors put the hosts as favorites.

 

HEAD TO HEAD

The recent H2H record between both sides indicates an edge for Universidad Catolica since they’re on a five-game undefeated run against Audax Italiano (W3, D2), keeping four clean sheets.
