Huachipato vs Cobresal Prediction: Both Sides Started the Season With a Win

In the upcoming Matchday 2 fixture of the Chilean Primera Division, Huachipato will take on Cobresal at the Estadio CAP Acero in Talcahuano. With both teams winning their opening matchups, Huachipato stands 4th with a win and three points, whereas Cobresal stands 5th. These two sides have a rich history and record in the Chilean Primera Division, the last time these two sides played, Cobresal won 2-0. For the upcoming game, the home side will have swinging odds in its favor.

From the 37 matches played between the two sides, Cobresal leads with (12-10), whereas 10 matches ended in a draw. The last two games ended in a draw and the game total was recorded under 1.5 goals. Hence, the upcoming fixture is also expected to be an interesting one with a game total of under 1.5. 

Going in the contest, Huachipato is coming off an amazing win against Universidad de Chile (1-3), and that too in their opening game of the season. In the previous win, Javier Altamirano, Cris Martinez, and Maximiliano Rodriguez scored goals. The attacking formation (4-3-1-2) brings much balance to the side, complementing players and their skill sets. Huachipato also won 57% possession in the previous game, with 5 shots on target. Against Cobresal, Huachipato averages about 1.27 goals per game, whereas the goals conceded rate is 1.43 goals.

Going in the contest, Cobresal is coming off a fine performance against Union La Calera (3-1). Apart from the home game pressure, Cobresal was on target from the very first minute of play. Cesar Munder, Alejandro Maximiliano, and Gaston Lezcano scored goals in the 31st, 42nd, and 73rd minutes of play. WIth a goal scoring average of almost 1.43 goals per game, Cobresal is likely to present a challenge to Huachipato.

As the past six games between the two sides have recorded a game total of under 2.5 goals, I am predicting a low scoring game. The game total for the upcoming contest is also expected to be under 2.5 and only the home side to score. Though Cobresal is leading the head-to-head count, Huachipato will emerge as a stronger side at home.
