Head to Head:
Nublense are unbeaten in their last three against Universidad Catolica including a 2-1 victory in the Apertura. They haven’t beat UC away since 2008 though and Los Cruzados have the far superior record historically.
Match Preview:
Seven points from their first three matches represents a smart begin for Mario Salas as boss of the third biggest club in Chile. Universidad Catolica are set to challenge at the top of the league once a lot of once a terrible Apertura campaign. This weekend they will hope to pick up their initial win at home in the Clausura and also score their initial goal. They are wanting far a lot of organised and a a lot of bigger threat going forward below Salas’ steerage.
Nublense are wanting over their shoulders once suffering a serious defeat at home to Palestino two weeks ago. They are now solely a couple a lot of losses aloof from sliding into the relegation zone of the coefficient table. Manager Ivo Basay can have his work cut out this weekend with a match against in-type Universidad Catolica, but his men are capable of springing the odd surprise moving around though they haven’t won away since August.
I think Universidad Catolica can win this comfortably. Attacking skills Mark Gonzalez and Roberto Gutierrez look full of confidence at the instant and can be too much for the Nublense defence to handle.
Expect Home Victory
