Moving forward with the matchup, Colo-Colo stands 11th with 2 wins and 7 points, whereas Magallanes stands 12th with 2 wins and 7 points.

Colo-Colo - Need to Improvise and Move Up the Points Table (LDWLW)

Going in the matchup, Colo-Colo is coming off a close defeat against Coquimbo Unido (2-3) in which Leonardo Benegas and Dario Lezcano scored goals for Colo-Colo. However, Colo-Colo was unable to keep on scoring and win the contest. Coach Gustavo Quinteros will be feeling the heat as it is high time and Colo-Colo will need to expedite its winning form. With the presence of Carlos Palacios, Ramiro Gonzalez, and Fabian Castillo in the lineup, Colo-Colo can certainly start winning from this point. 

Magallanes - Coming off a Win Against Always Ready in Libertadores (WWWWL)

Going in the matchup, Magallanes is coming off a win against Always Ready (1-3) in which Matias Poblete, Julian Alfaro, and Felipe Flores scored goals. Though Magallanes is coming off a win in Libertadores, it hasn’t performed well in the Chilean Primera Division. With the presence of Flores, Villanueva, and Aranguiz in the lineup, Magallanes will be looking to perform well in the upcoming away contest. With 11 goals scored in the last 5 matches played, Magallanes averages 2.1 goals per game. Hence, Magallanes' goal scoring average is better than Colo-Colo.
