Coquimbo hosts Audax Italiano at Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso, both aiming to improve their mid-table status in the Chilean Primera Division. The bookmakers heavily back Coquimbo, and that stands out considering their recent uptick in form. Key attacking force Guido Vadalá has scored three times in his last four appearances, making him a central threat for the home side. For Audax Italiano, Michael Fuentes has contributed with two goals and consistent offensive involvement. Between these squads, the home advantage and recent performances shape this as a pivotal fixture.
Hot stat: Coquimbo have only lost once in their last five home games, while Audax Italiano have failed to win in their last four away matches.

Coquimbo vs Audax Italiano prediction
We predict Coquimbo to win. The home side’s win rate this season (54%) dwarfs Audax Italiano’s (33%). Coquimbo display more consistency, especially at home, and their attacking options outshine the visitors. Guido Vadalá’s recent scoring form is hard to ignore. In contrast, Audax Italiano have struggled away, winning just 25% of their last eight matches. Our analysis suggests the match tempo will be managed by Coquimbo’s midfielders, particularly in ball retention and transition phases.
Both teams play in a 4-2-3-1, but styles differ. Coquimbo accumulate slightly more yellow cards (12 vs 10 in five games), showing more aggression. Both teams average over 60 fouls in five games, but Coquimbo’s higher interception and pressing numbers point to a proactive defensive shape, likely limiting Audax Italiano’s clean chances. Audax, meanwhile, have better pass accuracy and marginally more shots, suggesting direct play but also more turnovers under pressure.

Team Analysis
Coquimbo’s previous match: They delivered a narrow 1-0 victory over Colo Colo, showing defensive solidity and a tactical edge. The team efficiently pressed and capitalized on limited chances, highlighting their ability to manage tight matches. Earlier, they drew 2-2 with Huachipato and notched a 2-1 win over Universitario de Deportes, further confirming their robust home performances and resilience in close contests.
Audax Italiano’s recent matches underline their instability. They last beat La Serena 4-2, but this came at home against a weaker opponent. Away, their form remains poor with draws against Union La Calera and Barracas Central, plus a 1-2 loss to Vasco. Despite moments of attacking promise—Fuentes and Ignacio Fuenzalida have both found the net recently—the team’s defensive frailties, especially on the road, undermine their prospects.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Coquimbo the favourite
- Moneyline Coquimbo 1.85 | Audax Italiano 4.20
- Draw 3.50
- Over/Under Over 2.5 2.00 | Under 2.5 1.75
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 1.87 | No 1.90
Bookmakers strongly side with Coquimbo, listing them as near 1.85 favorites. Their home results, higher win rate, and current form support this. Audax Italiano’s odds of 4.20 suggest little faith in their away potential. Over 2.5 goals at 2.00 reflects both teams’ tendency to create—and concede—chances. BTTS odds remain balanced, fitting given both teams’ recent scoring patterns and defensive lapses.
Possible Starting Lineups
Coquimbo possible starting eleven
- GK: Diego Sanchez
- DF: Manuel Fernández, Juan Cornejo, Sebastián Cabrera, Elvis Hernandez
- MF: Dylan Emanuel Glaby, Sebastián Galani, Salvador Cordero
- FW: Guido Vadalá, Luis Riveros, Pablo Roberto Andres Rodriguez Salgado
This lineup features the most consistent players from the last five matches. Fernandez, Cornejo, Cabrera, and Hernandez anchor the back four, with Diego Sanchez in goal offering reliability. Midfield control comes from Glaby, Galani, and Cordero—players with the highest pass involvement. Up front, Vadalá’s scoring edge and Riveros’ recent form provide attacking threat. Expect a 4-2-3-1 with Vadalá as the focal point.
Audax Italiano possible starting eleven
- GK: Tomas Ahumada
- DF: Esteban Matus, Marcelo Ortíz, Enzo Ferrario, Daniel Piña
- MF: Marco Collao Ramos, Vicente Zenteno, Michael Fuentes
- FW: Rodrigo Cabral, Paolo Guajardo, Ignacio Fuenzalida
Ortíz and Ferrario are the most stable defensive pairings; Piña and Matus round out the back line. Collao Ramos and Zenteno handle midfield duties, both strong in passing and breaking up play. Fuentes offers dynamism and goals, while up front, Cabral, Guajardo, and Fuenzalida will likely spearhead the attack. The 4-2-3-1 formation provides flexibility but demands more from Fuentes and Fuenzalida to produce away from home.
