Precisely, Colo Colo and Everton will be opponents in the quarterfinals of the Copa Chile after eliminating Barnechea and O'Higgins, respectively. But there will be time to think about that matchup. The current situation forces them to focus on the Chilean league, where they have opposite prospects.
Colo Colo is in second place with 28 points, 4 points behind Universidad Católica, the leader. The 'Cacique' will seek their sixth consecutive home victory, having already defeated Deportes Iquique, O'Higgins, Antofagasta, Palestino, and Audax Italiano.
"I hope what happened to us in the early stages doesn't happen again, as we were easily conceding goals. We have shown that we have improved in that aspect in the Copa Chile. We want to be a team that attacks and doesn't start the game asleep, as that way we can work better during the match," said Colo Colo player Gabriel Suazo in a press conference.
Colo Colo will face a new challenge during the week after the departure of Argentine Agustín Orión was confirmed. "I am happy here, but there are circumstances that lead us to take different paths," said the goalkeeper.
