Colo-Colo's last game was hosting Coquimbo Unido (placed 18th) and winning 2-1. Before that, Colo-Colo drew at home versus Universidad Chile.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of W. Lemma when J. Parraguez scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 67th minute. A late climax in the match against Coquimbo Unido as the winning goal came eight minutes into overtime; scored by J. Parraguez.

This is expected to be a close game, with Colo-Colo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Colo-Colo as a small favourite), we find five games. Colo-Colo has won two of these, drawn zero and lost three.
