This Friday, November 24 at 21:00 (UTC), Universidad de Chile will battle Coquimbo Unido in a highly anticipated match at Estadio Santa Laura-Universidad Sek in Santiago de Chile. Temperatures are expected to be pleasant at 67° (F) with clear skies providing the perfect backdrop for the Chile Primera Division league encounter which carries a lot of history, with the last matchup between the two sides being a 2-1 victory for Coquimbo Unido achieved by R. Holgado's double in May of this year.
Universidad de Chile is in prime position to take their home form to unprecedented heights, headed into their next match at Estadio Santa Laura-Universidad Sek. With a 7-goal surge in their past five games in their stadium, Universidad de Chile’s players are motivated to carry this forward to increase their standing from 8th-place having secured 37 points in total - 10 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses – from their 27 match record. Key contributor L. Fernández propelled the team’s 1-3 win in their last away match against Universidad Católica, netting two of the trio of goals.
Ahead of their upcoming clash with Copiapó, Coquimbo Unido are in strong form, having won 2 and drawn 3 of their last 5 matches away from home. They have an impressive goal scoring record away from home, netting 7 goals in their last 5 matches. In their most recent meeting on 10.05.2023, Coquimbo Unido ran out 2 - 1 winners, with their ace striker R. Holgado hitting the back of the net with 2 goals. R. Holgado is also having an impressive tournament, having scored 13 goals so far this season. They currently sit 6 in the standings with 41 points from 27 matches, in an impressive record of 12 wins, 5 draws and 10 losses.
With a dozen victorious bouts, Universidad de Chile have unsurprisingly established themselves as the team to beat when playing against Coquimbo Unido, having faced off 26 times with twelve total wins and six draws for the former side. Averagely created 1.86 goals between them in their most recent seven matches, this rivalry could present an interesting spectacle come game time.
Achieving a win in their next matchup could be a pivotal moment for Universidad de Chile, resulting in the potential to leap up the table and secure a spot in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, with positive implications throughout the upcoming season. This victory could also act as an inspiring motivation for the home side.
