O’Higgins
- O’Higgins’ last five matches in all competitions have produced two wins, one draw and two defeats.
- O’Higgins are level on 19 points with Sunday’s visitors Everton Vina del Mar in the Primera Division 2026, but have a game in hand on the side from Vina del Mar.
- The hosts recently bounced back with a 2-1 away win over Club Deportivo Los Millonarios in the Copa Sudamericana Group C 2026.
- O’Higgins can create plenty of chances from wide areas and vertical transitions, but will need to be patient against a stubborn Everton Vina del Mar side.
- O’Higgins have won at home four times and lost three times this term, conceding few goals but scoring only six.
Everton Vina del Mar
- Everton Vina del Mar have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five in all competitions.
- Everton have proven to be a much tougher team since Walter Ribonetto took over as manager in March 2026 and his team have impressed in the last month, recording a 2-0 away win over Deportes Concepcion and a 1-1 draw at home to Coquimbo Unido last time out.
- Ribonetto’s side are much more flexible tactically than Bovaglio’s and will sit deep to try and frustrate O’Higgins before looking to hit on the counter-attack.
Head-to-Head
O’Higgins have won four of the last five head-to-head meetings between the sides, drawing the other.
Key Players
Thiago Vecino is a prolific player with four goals in 11 appearances in the Primera Division 2026 and two in his last five for O’Higgins, while Alan Medina is the leading scorer for Everton with three in 13 games - so both could be threats on Sunday.
Betting Insights
- O’Higgins are favorites to win here at 1.92 and we are taking them to squeeze out a win because of their home field advantage, their head-to-head record against Everton and their need to secure the three points after playing one game fewer.
- Both teams to score - No is very good at 1.86 and we’re expecting a close, hard-fought game that could be settled by a single goal.
- Unders is the way to go for the main bet with under 2.5 goals priced at 1.73, although we think this will be a game for the home side to win.
Prediction
- We are taking O’Higgins to squeeze out a win because of their home field advantage, head-to-head record and extra game in hand.
- Expect a tight, low-scoring affair that could be decided by a single goal.
