Coquimbo Unido
- Hernan Caputto has done a fine job at Coquimbo Unido since taking over on 1st January 2026, molding a tight 4-2-3-1 with the ability to counterattack with pace, deliver wingball and hold up the ball in the channels to make it very difficult for any visiting team.
- The Piratas have drawn 1-1 with La Serena in Primera Division 2026 and 1-1 away to Platense in the Copa Libertadores Playoffs 2026 but lost 0-1 at home to Platense.
Universidad Católica
Catolica are 3rd in Primera Division 2026 with 30 points from 18 matches , a 1-1 draw away to Estudiantes de la Plata in the Copa Libertadores Playoffs 2026 and were then blown away 0-3 at home by Estudiantes.
Head-to-Head
Universidad have the edge in the Primera Division but Coquimbo have won 2 of the last 3 meetings between the sides and kept the Cruzados winless in their last 3 trips to this corner of Chile.
Key Players
- Nicolas Johansen is Coquimbo's top scorer in the Primera Division 2026 with 6 in 16 appearances and will be the focus of Católica's attention on Wednesday.
- Zampedri has bagged 18 in 17 appearances for Universidad and has scored 4 of their last 5 goals, so if you have to have a goalscorer here, back the talisman from the visitors.
Betting Insights
- Universidad have gone 4-1-4 on the road, conceding 14 goals in 9 matches which looks a bit leaky.
- Both teams to score, yes, at 1.7 looks the best way to go on goals but the Under 2.5 at 1.82 also appeals for what should be a cagey encounter.
- So the home side look the value pick in the result markets, listed at 2.4 ahead of Católica at 2.9 and the draw at 3.4.
