Union La Calera
- Union La Calera are 15th in the Primera Division 2026 with 7 points from 9 games after a mixed bag of results in recent weeks.
- La Calera, on the other hand, prefer to sit deep, defend compactly and win physical duels before making direct attacks or playing on the break.

Head-to-Head
Universidad Catolica have won 3 of their last 5 matches against Union La Calera (2 draws).
Key Players
- Daniel Garnero’s men play a possession-based 4-3-3 system that controls the tempo of games and builds attacks from central areas, with Fernando Zampedri, on 11 goals in 9 league games, the division’s deadliest finisher.
- Calera’s goals come from Sebastian Saez, who has five goals in nine league appearances and four of them have come in the last seven games.
- Kevin Mendez provides the creative spark for La Calera, with four assists in eight league appearances, which isn’t bad for a team that rarely dominates the ball.
Betting Insights
- Backing the home favorite at 1.48 is the play here because the hosts have enough attacking power to score multiple goals against a side that rarely gets forward.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.79 also has value here, and we’re taking ‘Both Teams to Score - No’ at 1.82 given Catolica’s ability to keep things tight and La Calera’s away struggles.
Prediction
Catolica are a well-oiled machine with a clear identity and will likely get the better of La Calera , particularly on home turf where they have won 3 and drawn 1 of 4 Primera Division matches this season.
