Deportes Copiapo vs Coquimbo Unido Prediction: Can Deportes Copiapo Maintain the Winning Momentum?

In the upcoming fixture of the Chilean Primera Division, Matchday 12, Deportes Copiapo will take on Coquimbo Unido at the Estadio Luis Valenzuela Hermosilla in Copiapó. According to the table standings of today, Deportes Copiapo stands 15th with just 2 wins and 10 points, whereas Coquimbo Unido stands 5th with 6 wins and 19 points. This will be the first meeting between the two; therefore, Coquimbo can expect few surprises. Continue reading to find out more about the upcoming matchup. 

Going in the matchup, Deportes Copiapo will be hoping to continue from the last match and keep winning. In the last match against Magallanes (0-2), Isaac Diaz and Reiner Castro scored goals in the first 4th and 20th minute of play. With the likes of Cabrera, Ortiz, Jaime, and Castro in the lineup, Deportes Copiapo will be hoping for a decent performance at home. Though Copiapo had just 27% possession and 3 shots on target but the advantage of scoring early in the peace gave them the important win. In the last five matches played, Copiapo has scored just three goals, averaging 0.60 goals per game. Compared to the scoring average, Copiapo has conceded just 4 goals in the last five.

For the upcoming matchup, Coquimbo is expected to make a few changes to the squad, as in the last match, they suffered a clean-sheet defeat against Union Espanola (2-0). In the second half of the play, Joe Abrigo, Matias Palavecino, and Nicolas Rivera were unable to strike and attack the opposition. Coach Fernando Diaz will be looking to back his boys for the upcoming away match against Copiapo, which stands just above Magallanes in the points table. In the last five matches played, Coquimbo managed to score 10 goals, averaging 2.00 goals per game. Against the scoring average, Coquimbo conceded 5 goals, averaging 1.00 goals per game.

Deportes Copiapo is undergoing the worst performance in the ongoing Chilean Primera and has a goal difference of -9. On the other hand, Coquimbo Unido’s winning streak came to an end with the defeat against Union Espanola. For the upcoming matchup, visitors will be looking to strike back at the opposition and claim three win points. I am predicting a final scoreline of 0-2 at the end of 90 minutes of play. 

• Coquimbo Unido to Win for 3.00
• Total Under 2.5 for 1.8
• Both Teams to Score - No for 1.975
