Huachipato come into the match having been held to a 1-1 draw at home by Magallanes in their most recent game, which was played in the Primera Division.
It was Huachipato who opened the scoring in the 62nd minute but it took only 3 minutes for Magallanes to score the equaliser. Huachipato could not find a second goal in the time that remained.
The draw with Magallanes means Huachipato have failed to win any of their 3 most recent fixtures in all competitions.
There have been 2 defeats in those 3 games with the losses coming against Audax Italiano away in the Primera Division and at home against Deportes Temuco following a penalty shootout in the Copa Chile.
Trends show Huachipato are undefeated in 7 of their last 10 Primera Division matches. However, they have won only 2 of their last 6 games in the league.
Huachipato are undefeated in 3 of their 4 most recent home Primera Division matches.
Universidad de Chile travel to the Estadio CAP on the back of a 3-0 home win against Universidad Católica in the Primera Division.
Universidad de Chile opened the scoring on the stoke of half time and added a second goal 11 minutes later. Universidad de Chile prevented the visitors from scoring and scored their third goal at the end of the match.
The victory over Universidad Católica was the first win in 5 attempts for Universidad de Chile.
In their previous 4 games there were losses at Coquimbo Unido in the Primera Division and a penalty shootout defeat at the hands of O'Higgins at home in the Copa Chile.
Universidad de Chile were also held to a draw by Cobresal at home and Ñublense away in the Primera Division.
Away form in the league shows Universidad de Chile have not been easy to beat in recent fixtures and they are undefeated in 6 of their last 7 matches on the road.
Trends show both teams have scored in each of their last 4 away Primera Division games.
Looking ahead to the team news and Huachipato will start with Cris Martínez in attack and he has 6 goals to his name this season. Gonzalo Montes and Max Rodríguez are likely to start in midfield.
Universidad de Chile are expected to go with the same starting XI from the 3-0 win over Universidad Católica. That means Nicolas Guerra should start up-front alongside Cristian Palacios.
This is going to be a closely fought encounter and it is difficult to split the teams. Universidad de Chile come into the match on the back of a good win but Huachipato will not be easy to beat at home. So, this one could end level, with both teams scoring.
