Universidad Catolica
- Universidad Catolica have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches, including a 1-0 defeat at O’Higgins.
- Universidad’s solidity and efficiency have been on display in Primera Division 2026 so far, with the team winning both of their home matches, conceding just once and scoring five times.
Everton Vina del Mar
- Everton Vina del Mar have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5, but have won their last 2 consecutive matches.
- The visitors have had a difficult first half of the season, and currently sit 15th in the Primera Division 2026 having picked up just 6 points from 6 matches.
- They are slowly finding their rhythm, however, and will look to continue their run of good form against Universidad.
Head-to-Head
Universidad Catolica have won 2 of their 3 most recent head-to-head matchups (all competitions), including a 3-0 Primera Division 2025 away win just 4 months ago.
Key Players
- Alan Medina is Everton’s talisman and has scored 2 goals in 6 Primera Division 2026 appearances, making him their most reliable source of goals, 50% of which have come in their last 5 games.
- Alexander Aravena provides the spark from midfield for Universidad, and his creativity has been deadly when combined with the clinical finishing of talisman Fernando Zampedri, who has 8 goals in 6 Primera Division 2026 games.
- 7 of these goals have come among the team's last 9 goals, and it’s no surprise they look likely to add to that tally this Saturday.
Betting Insights
- Universidad Catolica are 1.59 favourites to win at home.

Prediction
- This looks like a contest between a pragmatic, solid home side and a progressive, evolving visiting team.
- Universidad’s structure and execution will be too much for Everton, so Universidad to win (and likely keep the opposition quiet).
