On Wednesday night, Colo Colo will look to boost their hopes of winning the Chilean Primera Division title when they host Melipilla at the Estadio Monumental David Arellano.
Colo Colo finished last season in the relegation play-off spot. However, the Primera Division’s traditional powerhouse has enjoyed a far better campaign and currently sit second in the table with just four league matches remaining.
The home team are just a point behind leaders Universidad Catolica, but this is their game in hand on the leaders.
Gustavo Quinteros’ team have been in good league form of late, as they have won five of their previous six league games in the Primera Division.
One of the key factors in Colo Colo’s recent results is their attacking prowess, as they have scored at least two goals in eight of their previous ten league matches.
The home team have a strong recent record on home soil, as they have won four of their previous five home games in the Primera Division, having scored at least two goals in all four of the recent league matches.
Melipilla are currently midtable and four points outside the qualification spots for the Copa Sudamericana.
The visitors head into this clash in good form, having recorded four straight league wins. A 2-1 win over Cobresal also made them five matches unbeaten in the Chilean top-flight.
Like their hosts, Melipilla have been prolific of late, having scored at least two goals in their previous four matches in the Primera Division.
The visitors have won back-to-back away matches in the top-flight, although they have won just three of their previous ten away games in the Primera Division.
Forebet predicts that Colo Colo will boost their title chances by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
