Cobresal vs Antofag. Prediction 28 June 2026
🔊 The Chilean Cup is entering a stage where every point carries extra weight. Cobresal have yet to live up to expectations and head into their home fixture without a single group-stage win, while Antofagasta have already turned heads with an impressive start. Despite the disparity in stature between the two sides, there’s plenty of intrigue here: the hosts are desperate for a victory, while the visitors will be eager to capitalise on their opponents’ struggles.
Head-to-Head
📊 The most recent competitive meeting between these sides dates back to 2022 in the Primera División, when Cobresal claimed a 2-1 home victory. In fact, the hosts have come out on top in each of the last three head-to-head encounters. However, with several years gone by and both squads having undergone significant changes since then, those past results offer little insight for today’s match.
Head-to-head statistics Cobresal - Antofag.
Cobresal Team Overview
The team's most recent official fixture took place on in the Copa Chile, with Deportes La Serena hosting Cobresal. The match ended in a goalless draw, 0-0.
Here are the key match stats (Cobresal vs Deportes La Serena):
- Possession: 51% vs 49%;
- Corners: 6 vs 4;
- Fouls: 10 vs 13;
- Yellow cards: 3 vs 0;
- Shots on target: 8 vs 5.
On paper, the hosts enter this match as favourites. Cobresal compete in Chile’s top flight and play their home games at an altitude of over 2,600 metres above sea level - a challenge that often proves difficult for visiting teams. Their approach relies heavily on aggressive wing play and set pieces, although recent results have been far from convincing.
In truth, it’s Cobresal’s current form that raises the biggest concerns. Across their last six matches in all competitions, they have suffered five defeats and managed just one draw, conceding 13 goals in that stretch. To make matters worse, they’ll be without Leonardo Valencia-their chief creative force and primary set-piece specialist.

Antofagasta Team Overview
The visitors last took to the pitch on in the Chilean Cup, facing Antofagasta away from home while Deportes La Serena were the traveling side. The match ended in a 4-2 result.

- Possession: 87% vs 13%;
- Corners: 2 vs 7;
- Yellow cards: 3 vs 1;
- Shots on target: 7 vs 4.
The Primera B side head into this clash in higher spirits. Over their last six outings, they’ve suffered just one defeat, picked up two wins, and earned three draws. Their Chilean Cup campaign got off to a flying start as Antofagasta confidently dispatched Deportes La Serena with a 4-2 victory.
The visitors are not without their own selection issues - first-choice left-back Sebastián Corda is sidelined with an ankle injury. Nevertheless, their attacking unit has looked sharp, with Antofagasta netting nine goals in those six matches. Admittedly, some of those wins came against lower-division opposition, but the team are currently far more clinical in front of goal than their upcoming opponents.

Editorial Prediction
Frankly, it’s a bit surprising to see the visitors’ attack being underestimated here. Sure, Cobresal compete in the top flight and enjoy a significant home advantage, but that hardly solves their defensive issues. Over their last six matches, Cobresal have conceded 13 goals - more than two per game on average.
If you’re looking for the main argument, here it is: Antofagasta have already proven they know how to capitalize on opponents’ mistakes. In the opening round of the Copa Chile, they put four past Deportes La Serena, and across their last six outings, they’ve scored nine times. In my view, the visitors are more than capable of creating at least one clear chance here as well. Our pick: Antofagasta to score over 0.5 goals (team total over 0.5).
