Melipilla vs Colo Colo tips and predictions

Colo Colo too short for this trip

This looks set for some high-quality football from both sides but the visiting team cannot take this test lightly. The home win is a terrific bet.

The hosts come into the match having bagged 2 home wins from their last 5. It would be misleading to say it's going to be easy but Melipilla are live underdogs.

Melipilla need to focus on the task in hand if they are to continue causing problems. This home team is in a bit of a purple patch on their own soil. They have scored three or more goals in 2 of their recent 3 home matches and their determination has been evident all over the field. At the back they have conceded no more than once in 16 of their last 20 games.

Colo Colo have had problems defending when not on their own turf. They've conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 13 away matches. Further, there could be signs that their potency is taking a dip. The visitors haven't really been able to depend on their goal-scorers in their latest engagements. They've scored one or less goals in 3 of their last 4 matches.

Colo Colo are legitimate favourites but they are too short to back. All football matches come down to which squad imposes their will on the other. If they are to get the job done, it might be how well Melipilla execute on the counterattack that makes the difference.

Colo Colo are the favoured side but things will get interesting if Melipilla can catch them on the wrong foot. It's not that obvious but the Yes BTTS bet is the hesitant side bet.
