20:00 Universidad de Chile – Colo Colo

Both teams are from the same city and this is a derby match.

However, U De CHile have a tough libertadores game in mind, against San Jose in high altitude (over 4000 m). Coach Laserta has said many times that Clausura is nor pririty for them and they will put everything in a do or die match in Bolivia 5 days from today. Defenders Suarez and Gonzales are out which is a big blow as their defence has been the achiles for them this caampaign. Some other players should be rested although I have found no official confirmation so far but having in mind how they proceded in similar situations, I believe they will rotate at least 2-3 players. SItuation in the team is bad, some of the players have been underperforming or being unprofessional and as I said in my previous pick against them, they are playing quite nervous and there are big chances they finish with less than 11 men.

I went against Colo Colo last weekend but now I am backing. them. Firstly now their program is quite convenient and legs aren't hard. They don't have Libertadores obligations until April and some of injured players are back.

Colo Colo won 3 of the last 4 Classicos, today I see much better chances for them to emerge victorious. Fair odds around 1.60.
