O’Higgins
- O’Higgins have won both their home Primera Division 2026 matches (2-1 and 1-0).
- Lucas Bovaglio has favoured a possession-based, disciplined 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, which has given O’Higgins a solid foundation to build from at home this season.
- O’Higgins’ form across their last 5 matches in all competitions has been mixed (W2, L3).
Colo Colo
- Colo Colo have lost their only Primera Division 2026 away match (3-1).
- Colo Colo have won their last two league matches (both at home) and sit in 5th place in the Primera Division 2026 table on 6 points.
- They beat Everton Vina del Mar 2-0 and Union La Calera 1-0, and Fernando Ortiz has since switched to a 4-3-3 system which has seen the visitors press high and win the ball in dangerous positions to allow their front three to transition quickly.
Head-to-Head
They claimed a 1-0 away win over Colo Colo 11 months ago, with the last two meetings split evenly between the sides.
Key Players

Prediction
- O’Higgins are a more clinical side in their approach, whereas Colo Colo’s 4-3-3 formation relies on high-intensity pressing and the ability to transition the ball forward quickly.
- We expect this game to be a bit more cagey than the odds suggest, with a draw or 1-0 home win looking more likely, as the hosts have a much better chance of achieving success at the Estadio El Teniente.
- We’re going for a Draw - O’Higgins Double Chance, as this is a closely contested matchup that could go either way.
