The squad under Gustavo Quinteros aims to extend their lead in the paternity against the Blues at the Monumental.
This Sunday Colo Colo hosts Universidad de Chile in a fresh edition of the Superclásico, a match counting toward the eighth round of the 2023 National Championship.
It will be a direct confrontation with the Cacique as the dominant force in the numbers, while Mauricio Pellegrino’s team seeks to end the long-running supremacy that the Macul club has enjoyed in this fixture.

Meanwhile, the Blues arrived from a 1-1 draw with Unión La Calera after three consecutive victories. The result left the underdogs as runners-up to the Crusaders with 13 points.
