The Cacique makes a trip to the Carabeleros with a clear aim: to keep the streak alive after two straight results that didn’t include a win, and they know three losses in a row would complicate their path further.
The clash between Magellan and Colo Colo is set for this Sunday, a key fixture in the seventh round of the 2023 National Championship calendar. Colo Colo, led by a determined coach, will be looking to rebound after a stumble that interrupted their momentum. Meanwhile, the team known as The Academy arrives carrying confidence from a 2-1 victory over Cobresal, a win powered by goals from Alfred Canales and Simón Contreras that highlighted their attacking options and resilience under pressure.
Colo Colo, under the guidance of Gustavo Quinteros, seeks to shake off the sting of a surprising defeat at home to Coquimbo Unido, a result that snapped a remarkable 17-game unbeaten run away from home and put their defense of the title at risk. The Cacique are in a position where consecutive results matter more than ever, as every point matters in a tight title race where consistency is rewarded. They now face a formidable test against an opponent aiming to climb back into the upper reaches of the standings, making this match a pivotal moment in the season.
