Huachipato's pragmatic approach should keep Nublense's attacks at bay on Sunday, although we do expect at least one side to keep a clean sheet. The 'Both teams to score - No' market is our first prediction, which is available at 1.86 and seems very reasonable given this is a real clash of styles.
Our Nublense vs Huachipato prediction for a second selection is a stalemate at 3.2, as both teams come into this with similar recent form and the head-to-head record is quite even.

Lionel Altamirano is a threat for the visitors
Nublense have scored eight goals in seven home league games, while Huachipato have conceded eight in seven on the road, so we feel that the stats stack up for a total score over 2.5 goals at 2.06 for the second prediction.
Lionel Altamirano has scored five times in 14 league appearances for Huachipato this season and three of his goals have come in the last five matches, so he is the most likely forward to score for either side this weekend.
