Lack of goals in this one?
Cristian Paulucci took over as La Serena boss in May 2025 and will be looking to instil some defensive discipline in the squad as they try to climb the table.
His side will sit deep and try to hit on the break, while Huachipato will look to press and pin them back in their half of the stadium. The under 2.5 goals market at 1.70 looks a solid bet given La Serena’s tendency to be cautious and Huachipato’s away struggles, but the advantage could go to the away team here. In terms of La Serena vs Huachipato betting tips, the odds slightly favor Huachipato to extend their momentum.
La Serena have only won four of their nine home league assignments this campaign, drawing two and losing three, and Huachipato can capitalize on that with another victory on Sunday.
