Match preview: U. de Chile vs Unión Española

U. de Chile and Unión Española face off at Julio Martínez Pradanos National Stadium in a match of the 19th round of the Primera Division. In their last meeting in this competition on 5 July 2025, Universidad de Chile emerged victorious with a score of 0-2. Historically, the home team has fared well at this venue, winning 3 out of their last 4 encounters, with one draw. Notably, in the last match at this stadium for the Primera Division on 27 August 2024, Universidad de Chile won 2-0, with goals from Israel Polet and Leandro Fernández. It’s important to note the disparity in performance between home and away games for both teams, as they have achieved very different results in their respective settings.

Team analysis: U. de Chile

Currently positioned 2nd, the home team has accumulated 35 points from 11 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses. Their last outing ended in a disappointing 0-1 loss to Cobresal at home, following a commanding 0-4 victory against La Calera. U. de Chile tends to perform better on home turf, with the last 30 matches yielding 11 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses at home, compared to 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses away. In their last 9 home fixtures in the league, U. de Chile boasts an impressive record of 8 wins and a single loss, acquiring 24 points from a potential 27. Although the defence has been breached in 7 of their last 10 encounters, their attack remains formidable, with at least one goal scored in 7 of those games. There is a clear trend favouring goals in their home matches; 6 of their last 9 league games ended with over 2.5 goals. In the 18 games played, they conceded the first goal on 7 occasions, managing to come back only once.

Looking ahead to their match against Unión Española, Universidad de Chile knows the importance of establishing dominance early on. An offensive strategy will be crucial in their pursuit of three valuable points, especially against a Unión Española side struggling near the bottom of the table, despite their recent victory over La Serena.

Team analysis: Unión Española

Currently in 15th place, the visiting side has garnered only 13 points from 3 wins, 1 draw, and 13 losses. Their most recent match saw them win against La Serena at home with a score of 1-0, following a narrow defeat to Palestino on the road. This team has historically performed better when playing at home, as evidenced by their record of 6 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses at their own ground, compared to 2 draws and 13 losses as guests.

The team has notably struggled away from home, having lost their last 7 matches on the road in this competition. Common outcomes for their away games include a 0-0 scoreline at halftime (4 times in 10 games) and a final score of 1-0 (3 occurrences in 10 games). In the last 10 matches, they have conceded goals in 9 encounters, indicating a lack of defensive robustness. Unión Española has rarely scored first, only achieving this in 3 of their last 17 Primera Division games; they reached halftime in the lead in just once and won 2 of those matches.

Despite their struggles, Unión Española is beginning to show signs of resilience. In the last three matches of the Chilean Championship, they have secured two wins, demonstrating a commendable commitment to overcoming their challenging situation. To avoid potential relegation, it is vital that they maintain this upward trajectory, which will be a significant test against a formidable Universidad de Chile side that is vying for the league leadership.
