Colo-Colo vs Nublense Prediction: Colo Colo to Recover from the Previous Blow

In the upcoming fixture of the Chilean Primera Division, Matchday 3, Colo Colo will take on Nublense at the Estadio Monumental David Arellano in Macul. Going in the contest, Colo Colo stands 13th with a win and three points, whereas Nublense stands 7th with 2 wins and 6 points. The Chilean fixtures are likely to get interesting as the match days are completed. Colo Colo and Nublense last played in November 2022 and the match ended in a draw (1-1). 

Going in the matchup against Nublense, Colo Colo will look forward to recovering from the last defeat against O’Higgins (5-1). Jordhy Thompson scored the only goal for Colo-Colo in the 4th minute of play. After that it was a complete disaster for Colo, as O’Higgins strikers penetrated the defenses of Colo Colo. Maximiliano Falcon struggled while defending against O’Higgins and is likely to be replaced for the upcoming fixture. Colo Colo had an accurate passing percentage of just 67% which was quite worse in their recent outings. For the upcoming home fixture Colo-Colo is likely to win at home, as it has stood unbeaten in its last 15 home games. Against Nublense, Colo-Colo averages around 1.38 goals per game, which is why Colo-Colo is likely to score a goal or two in the upcoming outing.

Going in the matchup, Nublense is coming off a win against Magallanes (3-2), in which Alex Valdes and Patricio Rubio scored goals. With a 4-2-3-1 formation, Nublense will depend on Felipe Flores for the match against Colo-Colo. Nublense has scored 9 goals in its last 5 matches, averaging 1.95 goals per game. If Nublense manages to score with the same strength and average, Colo-COlo will certainly struggle. Nublense has scored 35 goals against Colo-Colo at an average of 1.35 goals per game. As Nublense has just recorded 2 wins in the last 14 matches against Colo-Colo, the upcoming outing is likely to be a challenge for the away side.

Going in the contest, Colo-Colo will look to compensate for its poor gameplay in the previous fixture, Much will depend on the likes of Benegas, Moya, and Bolados. I am predicting a score line of 2-1 if Colo-Colo reinforces its defense. Considering the past form of Nublense, both sides are likely to score.
