Union La Calera
- Union La Calera have won just one of their last five matches in all competitions, losing four.
- These two sides are level on three points after one match, sitting 2nd and 3rd in the Primera Division 2026 after Union La Calera bounced back from their opening-day loss to Universidad Catolica with a 1-0 win away to Everton Vina del Mar.
Cobresal
- Cobresal have been more consistent so far, thrashing Colo Colo 3-0 before edging Huachipato 1-0 at home in their first league fixture of 2026.
- Gustavo Huerta’s long tenure in charge of Cobresal Salvador ensures that the club has a stable foundation while Martin Cicotello’s appointment as head coach last September means his players are still finding their feet.
- Huerta’s approach is to organise his teams to be tough to break down, physically tough and to hit on the break when opponents lose possession, particularly in transition.
Head-to-Head
- Cobresal have failed to win in their last three away trips to Union La Calera.
- Both sides have been inconsistent and Cobresal have lost each of their last two away matches.

Prediction
Both sides have been inconsistent and Cobresal have lost each of their last two away matches, but we’re leaning towards the hosts in this one at a touch of odds on.
