Ñublense will chase a third consecutive victory as they host Universidad Católica in Chillán, aiming to stay atop the national championship standings.
The match features two clubs with distinct recent forms: Ñublense, coming off a commanding home win, and Católica, who recently earned a point in a hard-fought draw. The red-and-black side travels to Chillán buoyed by a 5-2 victory at El Teniente de Rancagua, a result that reaffirmed their status at the summit and set the stage for a battle against the Red Devils for top position. This game also marks Católica’s entry into the early rounds of the Copa Sudamericana against Audax Italiano, a test of their ability to balance league duties with continental ambitions.
Jaime García’s team, by contrast, arrives after a split against Unión La Calera, leaving them eager to rebound and snap a small winless streak. They will look to reassert themselves and put together three consecutive wins, a run that would help them climb back into the upper echelon of the table.
