O’Higgins and Coquimbo Unido Clash at El Teniente Stadium
The Celestes are hoping to secure a place back among the festivities after a stretch of five games without a win. El Teniente de Rancagua will host the upcoming face-off between O’Higgins and Coquimbo Unido, set for Saturday as part of the ninth round of the 2023 National Championship.
Under coach Pablo De Muner, O’Higgins aims to end the run of five consecutive matches without victory. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-2 draw with Audax Italiano, a result that came despite the home team enjoying numerical superiority after Michael Fuentes and Gonzalo Álvarez were sent off. That performance left the Celestes sitting midtable with nine points.
On the other side, Coquimbo Unido picked up their third straight win by beating Cobresal 2-1 at the Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso. The victory helped the Pirates consolidate their position in the standings, reaching 13 points. In recent meetings, the balance has tilted in favor of O’Higgins, who have celebrated four times to Coquimbo’s one in the last five clashes, with the most recent face-to-face ending 0-1 courtesy of a penalty converted by Pedro Pablo Hernández.
The Celestes versus Pirates clash will be broadcast on television via TNT Sports 3 and streamed on TNT Sports Stadium. For customers of TNTHD or TNT2, both signals are available on platforms such as Movistar Play, Entel TV, DirecTV GO, Claro Video, VTR Play, and Zapping, enabling fans to follow the action across multiple devices.
Notes: This matchup is part of a broader season narrative in the Chilean Primera Division, with teams using home venues to maximize support and secure pivotal league points as they press toward the end of the calendar year. (Goal)
