The Cacique holds the blue box as he aims to broaden his influence in the Monumental Stadium and push toward the outposts beyond.
This Sunday, Colo Colo hosts Universidad de Chile in the 193rd edition of the Superclásico in Chilean football, matching the eighth round of the 2023 National Championship.
The Cacique seeks to extend his dominance over the Blues and strengthen his foothold in the top positions. He currently sits sixth with 10 points, after securing a 2-0 victory over Magallanes in the last round. A pending match against Huachipato remains on the schedule.
Meanwhile, the students hope to rebound after a 1-1 draw with Unión La Calera, which ended a run of three consecutive wins. Mauricio Pellegrino’s side continues to sit just behind Universidad Católica, accumulating 13 points.
Historically, the university players have not defeated Colo Colo since May 5, 2013, when a 3-2 win at Nacional featured a decisive goal from Charles Aránguiz and a brace from Juan Ignacio Duma. For the whites, José Pedro Fuenzalida and Carlos Muñoz were on the scoresheet. The collegiate team’s last triumph at Pedreros dates back to September 9, 2001, a 3-2 victory under César Vaccia’s leadership.
Across 192 first-division encounters, Colo Colo holds 89 wins, Universidad de Chile 48, and 55 matches end in draws. In terms of goals, Colo Colo has 326 to 239 for Universidad de Chile. The white box also carries a long streak of 19 league matches without defeat against their archrival.
