Coquimbo host Deportes Iquique in Copa Chile 2026 Group A, and despite arriving as heavy favourites on paper, they face a side that leads the group table. Deportes Iquique sit top of Group A with four points from two games, having not conceded a single goal so far. Coquimbo, meanwhile, are not even listed in the current standings, suggesting they are yet to play their group matches. That context alone makes this fixture more competitive than the 64% win probability assigned to the hosts implies. Nicolas Johansen leads Coquimbo’s attack with three goals in the last five matches, while Alejandro Camargo adds creativity in midfield. For Iquique, the absence of any detailed player stats is notable, but their group stage form speaks clearly enough.
Hot stat: Deportes Iquique have not conceded a single goal in their two Copa Chile 2026 group stage matches, scoring four times in the process, giving them a +4 goal difference at the top of Group A.

Coquimbo vs Deportes Iquique Prediction
Coquimbo’s overall season record is strong, 17 wins from 31 matches at a 55% win rate, and in the last 30 days they went 4-1-2. That form places them well above Iquique, who have won just 3 of 18 matches this year and recorded zero wins in their last four outings before the Copa Chile group stage. The head-to-head record also heavily favours Coquimbo, who have won four of the last five meetings and scored 11 goals across those five clashes.
Coquimbo commit fouls regularly, averaging around 12 per five matches, and have accumulated 15 yellow cards in that span. This is a physical side under Hernán Caputto that presses high and disrupts opposition build-up. Iquique, with no available detail stats for the last five matches, are a difficult side to read, but their Copa Chile group form suggests a defensively organised unit. We predict Coquimbo to win this match, but Iquique’s defensive solidity means goals may not come freely.

Team Analysis
Coquimbo enter this match in decent form, though their recent run has some inconsistency. A goalless draw against O’Higgins (rated 474) in their most recent outing was followed by a 2-1 win over D. Concepcion and a 3-2 victory against Limache. The 0-1 loss to Club Nacional (rated 211, a strong side) is the one blemish in a five-game stretch that also includes a 1-1 draw with Everton. Nicolas Johansen’s three goals from five appearances make him the clear attacking reference, and Juan Cornejo provides structure from deep with three assists and strong interception numbers. Coquimbo’s 63 total shots across five matches, combined with 29 corners, reflects an attacking-minded team that creates volume. The 15 yellow cards do flag a disciplinary issue that Iquique could exploit at set pieces.
Deportes Iquique’s recent form outside the Copa Chile group stage is poor. A 1-1 draw with Deportes Recoleta and a 3-4 loss to Magallanes (rated 1089) in their last two away fixtures highlight a fragile defensive record. Before that, draws against Curico Unido and U. Espanola and a 1-2 defeat round out a run of just one win in five. Their Copa Chile group stage performance, however, tells a different story, four goals scored and none conceded across two matches. Whether that form carries into a tougher fixture against Coquimbo remains to be seen, but Hernán Peña’s side cannot be dismissed entirely given the context of the tournament.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Coquimbo the Favourite
- Moneyline Coquimbo 1.41 | Deportes Iquique 5.50
- Draw 4.30
Coquimbo’s odds around 1.41 reflect the bookmakers’ strong confidence in the home side, and given the head-to-head dominance and season-long performance gap, that price is fair. Iquique at 5.50 carries value only if their Copa Chile group stage defensive form genuinely represents a tactical shift. The draw at 4.30 is not particularly attractive given how one-sided the historical record is. To be honest, the best value lies in backing Coquimbo on the Asian handicap rather than the flat moneyline, though for straightforward punting, a Coquimbo win at 1.41 is a reasonable play.
Possible Starting Lineups
Coquimbo Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Gonzalo Flores
- DF: Manuel Fernández, Juan Cornejo, Dylan Escobar, Elvis Hernandez
- MF: Salvador Cordero, Dylan Emanuel Glaby, Alejandro Camargo, Sebastián Galani
- FW: Nicolas Johansen, Benjamin Chandia
Coquimbo should line up in a 4-2-3-1, consistent with their last five matches. Gonzalo Flores starts in goal, having featured in five of the last five fixtures with 11 saves. Manuel Fernández anchors the left side of defence with strong passing volume, while Juan Cornejo is arguably the most complete outfield player in this squad, contributing three assists and leading in interceptions. Nicolas Johansen is the player to watch, three goals from five games makes him the most direct threat. Alejandro Camargo, with a goal of his own and tidy passing numbers, provides the link between midfield and attack.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Coquimbo are the justified favourites here. Their head-to-head record against Iquique is dominant, four wins from five meetings with 11 goals scored and only four conceded. The season-wide performance gap is significant, 55% win rate versus 17%, and Coquimbo’s last 30 days show a team in reasonable shape. Nicolas Johansen is a genuine goal threat, and the midfield platform built around Cornejo and Camargo gives Caputto’s side a clear structural advantage.
Iquique’s Copa Chile group stage form deserves acknowledgment, but the step up in opponent quality is real. Their broader form, one win in 18 league matches, points to a team that has been inconsistent all year. We predict Coquimbo to win this match with a clean sheet, perhaps 2-0, keeping their Copa Chile campaign alive while Iquique’s group stage momentum is tested for the first time against a legitimate opponent.
