Stable Coquimbo Unido Backed to Overcome Palestino

Palestino will be without midfielder Ariel Martinez and defender Jason Leon due to injury.

Coquimbo Unido, meanwhile, have a full squad available.

Palestino suffered a disappointing 2-0 away defeat to Nublense in their last outing, ending a four-match unbeaten run in the league. They have lost only once in eight home league matches, but their attacking output is a concern after failing to score in two of their last three league games.

Coquimbo Unido's most recent league match against Universidad de Concepcion was postponed because of flooding. Before that, they had gone four league matches unbeaten, including a 0-0 home draw with O'Higgins. They have also lost only three of their eight away league matches this season.

With the more stable recent form, Coquimbo Unido look capable of beating a Palestino side that has gone cold in front of goal.

In the first league meeting between the sides this season, Coquimbo Unido won 3-1 at home. In last season's league meetings, they also held the edge with one win and one draw.
