Editors’ Prediction
Recent months’ statistics suggest this match is unlikely to be high-scoring. These sides have met twice already this season, producing just a single goal between them, and none of Cobresal’s three Copa Chile fixtures have featured more than two goals. Deportes La Serena show a similar pattern-two of their three cup matches also finished under the 2.5 total goals line. In my opinion, the teams will play cautiously again. Our pick is under 2.5 goals.
