Everton Vina del Mar
- Everton Vina del Mar are in slightly worse form with two wins, two draws and one defeat from their last five in all competitions.
- Everton have only conceded four goals in six home league fixtures, so they look solid enough to keep a close game with their defense.
Coquimbo Unido
- Coquimbo Unido are in fine form having won three and lost two of their last five matches in all competitions, including a 3-0 home win over Audax Italiano Santiago.
- Hernan Caputto has done a great job with Coquimbo Unido since taking over from the previous coach, installing a clear structure that his side stick to well.
- They play with a higher tempo than most sides in the division and will press the ball aggressively to try and force turnovers.
- Coquimbo Unido have won three and lost three of their previous six away fixtures in Primera Division 2026, so are hard to trust as underdogs.
Head-to-Head
Everton have failed to beat Coquimbo in their last three meetings, drawing twice and losing the most recent one 2-1 at Coquimbo nine months ago.
Key Players
- In Alejandro Azocar, who has two goals in eight games for the club, they have a decent goal threat, although Guido Vadala has scored three in his last five appearances to stake a claim for the number ten position.
- Their top scorer in the division is defender Alan Medina, who has three goals in 11 appearances and can provide a constant threat up front if the home side get into a rhythm.
Betting Insights
- There has been a marked improvement in Everton’s performance since Walter Ribonetto took over as head coach, but they still lack a clear identity.
- They will be happy to sit back and contain Coquimbo Unido while they press, then strike on the break or from a set-piece.
Prediction
- Everton are unbeaten in three at home, winning their most recent two with a 3-1 success over Cobresal in the last fixture, so we are going to take the draw here.
- The defences look more likely to get the better of their opponents than the forwards, so it should be a cagey affair with goals likely to be at a premium.
