Audax Italiano Santiago and Universidad de Chile are evenly matched
Universidad de Chile are the favorites to win on Sunday against Audax Italiano Santiago, but the form guide is not convincing enough to take them at 2.29 with the hosts and the draw both coming in at 3.14. The gap in the standings between these two teams is also too narrow to justify the odds on the visitors, who are 3rd in the Primera Division 2026 on 24 points from 15 games, compared to Audax, who are 13th with 16 points. This Audax Italiano Santiago vs Universidad de Chile prediction suggests a tight contest that may be decided by fine margins.
In the Primera Division 2026, the last 2 meetings have yielded 1 Audax win, 1 draw and 0 Universidad de Chile wins, and the last meeting finished 0-0 at the Estadio Nacional, home of the U. But Universidad de Chile have not won in their last 2 visits to play Audax, so there is an argument to be made for a draw at 3.14 as the most likely outcome. A prediction for Audax Italiano Santiago vs Universidad de Chile points toward a close result rather than a clear away win.
Fernando Gago's team have been more patient, more possession oriented and flexible in their approach to games and they are trying to control more matches, while Pablo Alvarez's Audax Italiano have remained true to the block-and-transition 4-3-3 style that he has favored since taking over on 21 June 2026.
Under 2.5 goals seems a good starting point
This could develop into a game of chess where the visitors have the ball more and try to break down the home team, but Audax have the pace and skill to counter attack and should cause plenty of problems on the counter. 20-year-old Diego Coelho is Audax's main offensive threat with 3 Primera Division 2026 goals from 14 appearances and he will be their spearhead on Sunday. Universidad de Chile have the proven goalscorer at the top of their game with 5 Primera Division 2026 strikes from 13 appearances in Eduardo Vargas.
Universidad de Chile responded well to their 0-1 home defeat against Unión La Calera with a 3-2 away win over Santiago Wanderers, but their rhythm has been a little stop/start so far. The U are probably the better team and should edge out the game if they are able to control possession and keep Audax locked down in their own half, but the draw could be the most likely result.
Audax have won their last 2 games at the Estadio Bicentenario while Universidad de Chile have not won in their last 2 trips to this ground, so the Under 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score - No bets look like a good place to start with this fixture, at 1.71 and 1.89 respectively. For those seeking value, Audax Italiano Santiago vs Universidad de Chile betting tips also lean toward a low-scoring match.
