Nublense (home)
- Nublense are undefeated in 5 matches, winning 3 and drawing 2, with consecutive wins over Audax Italiano Santiago and Union La Calera.
- Nublense have conceded just 1 goal in 2 home league games (0.50 goals/90 minutes on average).
- Juan Jose Ribera has been making his mark on Nublense since taking the helm and his team are now blending their traditional compact, disciplined style with Ribera’s preference for a more structured, transition-based game.
Universidad Catolica (away)
- Universidad Catolica are 5th in the Primera Division 2026, 1 point behind Nublense after 4 games, but are without a win in both of their away matches (D1, L1).
- Daniel Garnero took charge at Universidad in June 2025 and has strengthened their identity as a possession-based side.
- They will set up in a 4-3-3 again on Sunday, with a disciplined approach to their build-up play and a well-balanced structure all over the field.
Head-to-Head
In their last two meetings, Catolica have won 1 and drawn 1 , and claimed a 1-0 win at home in the Primera Division 2025 just 4 months ago.
Key Players
- Ignacio Jeraldino (2 goals in 4) is a reliable figure in the front line, but in recent games, it is midfielder Gonzalo Sosa who has made the difference, scoring 4 of their last 9 goals.
- The visitors have an excellent talisman of their own in the form of Fernando Zampedri, who has scored 6 times in 4 games for the club.
Betting Insights
- Catolica are the slight favorites at 2.3, with Nublense at 3.0, and while the hosts are in better form at the moment, that may have more to do with their home advantage.
- Nublense have an average of 0.50 goals conceded per game at home in the PD 2026, while Catolica have managed to score 4 goals in 2 away games.
Prediction
However, the fact that Nublense are unbeaten at home (W1, D1) and have failed to beat Catolica in their last 2 meetings means that this should be a closely fought affair .
