U. de Chile vs. Colo Colo: the pre-match

The 'U', close to the relegation zone, faces a tough test against the 'Cacique', the absolute leader of the tournament. That's how the anticipation to a edition of the Superclásico of Chile is lived. On the eve, the albos, who have gone 10 games without losing, are the favorites over the azules, who have won only one of their last five appearances.

Diego López, coach of U. de Chile, will be able to count again with Bastián Tapia and Emmanuel Ojeda. Yonathan Andía would also reappear, after being left out of the defeat against O'Higgins. "The motivation for these matches is high. We are aware that we must give everything because it is a different match," said the coach.

On the other hand, Colo Colo only has one doubt to replace the suspended Gabriel Costa. Coach Gustavo Quinteros must choose between Agustín Bouzat and Leonardo Gil to replace the Peruvian. "Until the day of the match I have the possibility to analyze and then decide which player enters," said the strategist.
