Huachipato vs Curico Unido Predictions and Betting Tips
The Estadio CAP is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter in the Chilean top division as Huachipato and Curico Unido lock horns. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Both sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in their most recent game, however, the hosts haven't lost to their opponents on their own patch and we expect them to be keen on continuing this form.
Massive six-pointer on the cards
With no wins in their last five league matches, Huachipato head into this match struggling for form. They've secured just four points from a possible fifteen, they currently sit just two points above the relegation zone. In their most recent game, they picked up their first loss in five league games as they lost to O'Higgins in a 2-0 loss. Goals in either half from Larrondo and Cahais condemned them to their sixth loss of the season. Would they finally get that win they've been dreading for over a month this Tuesday ?
Curico Unido, similar to their opponents' heads into this game, not on their brilliant best. Although we could make a case for them being on the up heading into this game given that they picked up their first win in four games last time out, we must point out that they're currently in 15th place, level on points with Tuesday's opponents who have a game in hand. With just seven points from 11 away games this season and with the second-worst division, they're once again bound to have problems on the road this Tuesday and as such, it is then left to see whether they can build upon that 1-0 win against Cobresal last Thursday.
Huachipato vs Curico Unido Prediction: 1-1
Curico recently picked up a huge win and we see them heading into this game with confidence at a significant level. Their form away from home is one to be worried about, however, given that they've managed just seven points from a possible 33 this season. The hosts, on the other hand, have a spare game and could pull clear of their opponents with a win here. That being said, this matchup looks perfectly balanced and this makes it difficult to see a clear winner. As such, we would be going for a draw with both sides leaving Estadio CAP with a point each.
