Very little separated these two sides last season. O’Higgins finished 4th last season (3 points behind Cobreloa) – they scored 28 goals in 17 games and conceded 19. Cobreloa finished 3rd last season – they scored 33 goals in 17 and conceded 18. O’Higgins come into this tie in much better form than Cobreloa and are deserved favourites on paper. O’Higgins have lost just 1 of the last 5 meetings against Cobreloa. Cobreloa are currently 6 points behind O’Higgins and they will need to avoid defeat if they are to have any chance of getting close to the leaders of the Chile Apertura with just 4 games left.
