Palestino vs Universidad Catolica prediction

CD Palestino will be visited by Universidad Catolica on Universidad SEK Stadium in Chile Apertura finals. This is the first match between them in this phase of the competition and the second game will be over 3 days, so Palestino must win if they want to remain with chances in the second leg. Palestino has ended on 4th place with 28 points in the regular season while away team has finished on second place with 4 points more. The coach of Palestino, Pablo Guede has all the players available for this meeting and a good news for hosts is that can count again on the argentinian striker Marcos Riquelme, the topscorer with 10 goals scored in Apertura. On the other side, guests will be without some important players, so Michael Rios and Stefano Magnasco are suspended while Cristian Alvarez, Roberto Gutierrez, Tomas Costa and Mark Gonzalez will not be on the field because they are injured. CD Palestino is undefeated in last 9 matches played on own ground in all competitions, they have 8 wins and one draw while Universidad Catolica have been defeated in last two away matches, losing with 1-0 and 2-1 at Audax Italiano. Palestino has won with 2-1 last match played on own ground with Universidad Catolica last year and after the latest results of hosts and the missing players from away team i bet that Palestino will win this game and will lead also at half time, so i choose to bet HT/FT: 1/1.
