OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Universidad Católica's two home games in the Primera Division so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Estadio Santa Laura-Universidad SEK.

Happy days for Universidad in their previous game, a fixture away at Audax Italiano (placed 11th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Holan when Jara scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Cobresal that ended 3-3.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
