Coquimbo have a bit of momentum
Coquimbo Unido have been a steady fixture in the top eight of the Primera Division 2026 for much of the season, and they've kept in the mix with a run of two draws in a row, following a 1-0 away win over bottom side San Marcos de Arica. Back-to-back 1-1 ties with Deportes Limache and Deportes Iquique have followed to give them 24 points and 4th place after 15 games.
Hernan Caputto's men are playing with a bit of tempo and patience this season, where they are able to sit back in a pragmatic shell and play with the ball in their possession, then explode in a vertical manner when they turn it over. Juan Cornejo is the creative spark and chief set-piece threat with seven assists from 11 appearances in the Primera Division 2026, while up front, Nicolas Johansen is a finisher with five goals from 14 matches. This Coquimbo Unido vs C.D. Universidad de Concepcion preview suggests another tight contest.
Universidad de Concepcion have been all over the place
Universidad de Concepcion have been all over the map with a win, a draw and three defeats from their last five matches, so Ricardo Viveros' men haven't yet managed to get a consistent rhythm. Their most recent outings have seen them lose 0-1 at home to Nublense before beating Rangers de Talca 2-0 at home. Their form has left them in 11th with 19 points from 15 games.
The visitors have a similar issue to the home team, that they have a lack of quality or quantity of options up top. Cecilio Waterman is the leading scorer with three goals from 11 games, so all the Campanil's hopes rest on him getting a couple this weekend.
