The Blues face Matador in a bid to secure Mauricio Pellegrino’s first win as coach, a milestone aimed at beginning a new chapter for the team.
Universidad de Chile continues to gear up for the 2023 National Championship, striving to restore its former prominence after four consecutive seasons of struggle. The club is pushing through a demanding period as it seeks to rebuild confidence and sharpness ahead of the campaign. The day’s objective is clear: improve the club’s image after a rocky pre-season that included a loss to Coquimbo Unido and a draw with Rosario Central. The upcoming match will be held behind closed doors at Santa Laura following a recent scheduling decision. It is worth noting that the Matador squad will arrive at the blue training facility following a narrow loss to Universidad Católica in a late pre-season friendly before the Professional League season proper, where they faced Independiente on January 28. On the other side, Pellegrino’s side will officially debut on Monday the 23rd, hosting Huachipato in a home fixture to kick off their league campaign.

The clash between the Blues and the Matador will be broadcast on television via TNT Sports HD and TNT 2, with streaming options available through TNT Sports Stadium.
