O’Higgins currently sit at the bottom of the group, but their performances have been more competitive than the standings suggest.

Despite holding just 29% possession and registering only seven shots to Colo-Colo’s twenty-three, O’Higgins managed to convert twice and kept the contest alive until the final whistle.
Heading into this fixture, the squad is almost at full strength. Midfielder Matías Assadi Quintana, who found the net against Unión Española, has returned to action. While a slight rotation is possible, the coaching staff are not expected to make significant changes to the starting lineup.

Deportes Recoleta Team Overview
The visitors' most recent official fixture took place on in the Chilean Cup, where Deportes Recoleta hosted Colo-Colo. The match ended in a commanding 3-0 victory for Colo-Colo.
Here are the key stats from the game (Deportes Recoleta vs Colo-Colo):
- Possession: 39% vs 61%;
- Corners: 3 vs 7;
- Fouls committed: 9 vs 5;
- Yellow cards: 0 vs 0;
- Shots on target: 0 vs 11.
The visitors sit just one spot higher in the table thanks to a single win, but their recent form raises plenty of questions. After a heavy 0-3 defeat to Colo-Colo, their winless streak has now stretched to five matches across all competitions. The team are struggling up front and are finding it increasingly difficult to create genuinely dangerous chances.
Even against the same Colo-Colo side, Recoleta looked less convincing than their upcoming opponents. They managed just 39% possession, but the real difference showed in the shot count, where they were outshot by nearly four times. Up front, they simply failed to offer anything of note. Heading into this fixture, there are also concerns over the fitness of several central midfielders, who are dealing with muscle fatigue after a packed run of fixtures.

Editorial Prediction
To be honest, when you compare both sides’ performances against Colo-Colo, O’Higgins’ advantage is clear to see. The hosts managed to score twice against the group leaders and stayed in contention for points right up until the final whistle, while Deportes Recoleta never really looked like threatening and lost without much of a fight. For me, how each team fared against the strongest side in the group is the best indicator of their current form. Our pick: O’Higgins to win.
