Our prediction for Ñublense vs Unión Española
The club from Chillán only returned from Segunda in 2020 after a five-year break. Yet, within a couple of years, they played in the Copa Libertadores, and the season before last made it to the playoffs of the Copa Sudamericana. Last season didn’t go well—they finished ninth, right in the middle of the table. Their opponents from the capital managed to reach sixth place with 45 points, thanks to tie-breakers.
This result granted Unión Española a spot in the Copa Sudamericana. However, they managed only five points in their group, finishing third and exiting early. Their league form also saw them slip into the relegation zone. However, in the second half of summer, they tried to revive their campaign and even won a couple times. But against Universidad Católica, they lost without a chance, 0-2. The hosts didn't impress again—though they improved by the end of summer, as confirmed by a 2-0 win over Iquique.
Fuentes’s side have scored an average of 1.05 goals per game while conceding 1.2. The underdog, meanwhile, scores just 0.9 goals per match but concedes twice as many—1.86 per game.
