Everton Vina del Mar (home)
- Everton Vina del Mar are fourth in the Primera Division 2026 with 36 points from 23 games.
- The Ruleteros are on a good streak having won 3 of their last 5 in all competitions (D1, L1).
-
Recent results:
- Everton lost 0-1 at home to Universidad Catolica in the Primera Division 2026 last week before beating CD Nublense 3-1 away from home and drawing 1-1 at Universidad de Chile in the Copa Chile 2026.
- Everton have 4 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses from 12 Primera Division 2026 home matches, and are therefore steady rather than dominant.
La Serena (away)
- La Serena are 10th with 30 points from 23 matches.
- The Papayeros have also won 3 of their last 5 (D1, L1) and look to be in great shape.
-
Recent results:
- La Serena recorded a 2-1 home win over Nublense before suffering a 0-3 defeat at home to UdeC.
- However, Felipe Gutierrez's men have won their two Primera Division 2026 away games since.
- La Serena are a direct team that presses well and Everton are a team that play a compact, transition-based style.
Head-to-Head
- The head-to-head record stands at one win each after the last two meetings and La Serena's 1-0 win at home to Everton, 5 months ago, adds some bite to this fixture.
- La Serena have won 3, drawn 5 and lost 3 of their 11 Primera Division 2026 road matches, so they can nick points away from home.
- Walter Ribonetto has done a fine job since taking the Everton Vina del Mar helm on 10 March 2026, but La Serena have had a little more time to implement their 4-2-3-1 system and they've been a much sharper, more direct and much better-organised team in transition since Felipe Gutierrez took over on 1 January 2026.
Key Players
- Alan Medina has 11 goals in 23 games for Everton and is their main danger man.
- Jeisson Vargas, with seven goals in 23 Primera Division 2026 appearances, is La Serena's most dangerous player.
- Everton have conceded just 14 goals at home in the Primera Division 2026, an average of 1.17 per game, while La Serena have scored 15 away goals in 11 Primera Division 2026 games.
Betting Insights
- Everton are favorites in the betting at 1.69, and they should be.
- La Serena look like great value at 4.16, while the 3.75 about the draw looks very tempting.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.61 looks a strong play, too, as Everton have some quick players who can hurt teams on the counter and La Serena will push the pace and create plenty of chances on the break.
Prediction
- The visitors' organised, aggressive style of play will test Everton's compact setup and make this a very interesting match.
- The home team look the likelier winner given their league position and home form, but La Serena can keep this close enough for the draw to look like a real possibility.
- Expect an open, transitional game with both sides creating chances and a decent likelihood of multiple goals, making the draw or a narrow Everton win the most plausible outcomes.
