⭐️ Editor’s Pick
O’Higgins are prolific in attack but just as vulnerable at the back. This matchup looks tailor-made for both teams to find the net-while a high-scoring shootout can’t be ruled out, it’s unlikely to spill over into the return leg, where the visitors will adjust based on the result. The trends strongly support a prediction of both teams to score (yes): Ñublense have scored and conceded in each of their last five home games, while O’Higgins have yet to play a match in this tournament without both scoring and conceding.
