Hosts are set for another solid home result
Universidad de Chile have a better head-to-head record than Cobresal Salvador in the Chilean Primera Division, but they will be wary of the possibility of a draw in this fixture. Our Universidad de Chile vs Cobresal Salvador prediction suggests that while Cobresal Salvador have lost the majority of the games between the two sides, they have also taken the points on a few occasions.
The hosts are a side who tend to play with the ball and play in a possession-based way, usually with a high intensity press and a few different formations. Cobresal Salvador tend to sit deep and allow their opposition to have the possession, before allowing their players to break forward on the break. It will be an interesting chess match, with the visitors not pressing with the intensity of the home team and instead looking to counter their opponents when they are out of position.
The Universidad de Chile vs Cobresal Salvador preview highlights the midfield battle as one of the key factors, with Universidad de Chile’s Flavio Martín Moya Ortega patrolling the middle of the park and trying to do some of the more dirty work. Moya Ortega will not shy away from confrontation, with 7.5 cards per 90 minutes on average, but he will need to be at his best to contain Antonio Alejandro Díaz Campos. Díaz Campos is both a creative outlet and a defensive player, who can play in the centre or in wide areas, meaning that he will do a lot of running to keep the balance of the side in the transitions from attack to defence.
Universidad de Chile will win, despite Cobresal’s grit
