Best bet

Universidad Católica to win at 3.62 on 22Bet. Católica's attacking output dwarfs La Calera's over the past five matches: ten goals to three. Fernando Sampedri, Católica's Argentine forward, has scored in seven consecutive matches with 25 league goals this season and three in five Copa Chile games. La Calera have conceded 1.40 goals per home match and converted only 7.4% of their shots. Católica have averaged 1.80 goals per away match this season despite missing two players to suspension and injury.

Odds to watch

The draw is available at 3.24 on 22Bet, though La Calera's recent form makes it unlikely. La Calera to win sits at 2.02. In every Copa Chile group match for both teams this season, at least one goal arrived in the first 30 minutes. Sampedri's seven-match scoring streak and La Calera's defensive fragility suggest early chances will come. Over 2.5 goals is worth monitoring given Católica's 2.0 goals-per-game average across their last five matches and La Calera's 1.40 goals conceded per home game.
