Our next betting prediction takes us to Chile, where I’m going to analyze the match between Colo Colo and Huachipato. Two teams that still have as objective to clinch direct qualification into next season’s continental tournaments. The hosts, Colo Colo, are currently 8th on the table and in a better position for attaining this target, compared to their opponents, Huachipato, who are 10th. This match offers several interesting betting angles, so let’s take a closer look at key statistics and make a profitable bet.
The Hosts
After recording three consecutive defeats that saw them drop significantly on the table, Jorge Francisco managed to find the right formula and words to galvanize his team for a comeback. Starting with a decisive 2-1 home win against La Serena, and followed by an important draw 1-1 away to O’Higgins, a stronger team. This is exactly the kind of motivation they need to play against Huachipato, which they might feel is superior to them at this time.
As of date, Colo Colo have played 17 matches, with a record of 7 wins, 4 draws, 6 losses, 17 goals scored and 18 goals conceded.
Their recent performances depict a team that is hungry for consistency and wins. Knowing this, let’s see how their opponent of the day compares.
Huachipato
To say Huachipato is struggling in the league would be an understatement, as they’ve managed only one win in their last 8 matches. Their last outing was sanctioned by a huge away defeat 1-4 against Everton, a team placed below them on the league table.
What’s more disturbing is their away form. They find it very hard to even get a draw when playing on the road. This is a statistic that might speak against them when they face Colo Colo this weekend at Estadio Monumental David Arellano. Lionel Altamirano is always a threat up front and will be the main problem for Colo Colo.
So far, Huachipato has played 17 matches like their opponent, but their stats are different: 6 wins, 3 draws, 8 losses, 23 goals scored, 28 goals conceded, and 21 points in total.
Colo Colo vs Huachipato Head-to-Head Stats
Colo Colo has the clear advantage when looking at the H2H stats, with 24 wins compared to Huachipato’s 9. Interestingly, 18 confrontations between the two teams ended in draws. That’s a lot of draws!
Both teams are known to start their games slowly and increase intensity towards the second half; that’s why I’m going for a first-half draw at 2.47. You can follow this bet by signing up on Game2Bet, where you’ll get high odds and betting limits.
