U. Catolica
When these two sides meet, goals are almost guaranteed.
Unión Española is among the stronger teams when it comes to scoring especially at home. In their previous campaign, they netted 33 goals in
15 home matches, averaging 2.2 goals per game. However, their attacking style often leaves them exposed at the back, as they also conceded 24 goals over that span.
They’ve retained most of their squad and even strengthened their attack with the addition of Jeraldino, the former Audax Italiano striker who scored 12 goals last season.
As for Universidad Católica, their defensive consistency stands out. Judging by last season’s numbers and the start of this one they’ve shown discipline at the back, conceding just 15 goals in 15 matches last campaign (an average of 1 per game), and only 3 goals in the first four matches this season.
What we say
Both Teams to Score
Four of the last five head-to-head encounters between these sides have seen both teams find the net, with a total of 12 goals scored across those matches.
Considering Unión Española’s attacking mindset and consistent goal-scoring form especially at home and the experience and quality of Zampedri leading the line for Católica, a similar outcome is likely. Both sides have the tools to get on the scoresheet, making another “Both Teams to Score” scenario highly probable.
