Coquimbo host Limache at Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso in a Copa Chile 2026 Group A clash that carries real weight, with both sides sitting on three points after a single game played. What makes this fixture particularly sharp is that these two sides met just weeks ago in the Chilean Primera Division, with Coquimbo edging a 3-2 thriller, despite the bookmakers at the time giving Limache a genuine shot at the win. Limache are no pushover, and their Copa Chile campaign opened with a convincing 3-1 win over San Marcos de Arica, but their form across the last month tells a different story: one win from five, with four defeats. Nicolas Johansen leads Coquimbo’s attack with three goals in five appearances and is the most likely source of danger up front, while Jean Meneses is the standout name for Limache, contributing two goals and two assists across six matches.
Hot stat: Coquimbo have won their last three Copa Chile group stage matches without conceding a single goal, and their only loss across the last 30 days came against Club Nacional, a side ranked among the top 250 clubs globally.

Coquimbo vs Limache Prediction
Coquimbo are the clear pick here. They are the better-ranked side, playing at home, and carry a 56% win rate across 32 matches this year. Their 4-3-3 setup generates consistent attacking output, with 70 total shots across the last five games compared to Limache’s 61. The hosts also produce more corners on average and have been clinical when they get into scoring positions.
Limache’s style is compact and physical in midfield, averaging 37 fouls across five matches compared to Coquimbo’s 59, suggesting Coquimbo press and engage more aggressively. Limache concede more than they score when facing quality opposition, as the 1-4 loss to La Serena and 2-3 defeat to Coquimbo itself confirm. Their pass accuracy sits at 1,502 out of 1,928 total passes, slightly below Coquimbo’s 1,730 from 2,150, meaning Coquimbo’s midfield tends to dominate possession and create more sustained pressure. Coquimbo’s yellow card count (14 vs. Limache’s 4) reflects their pressing intensity, which at home tends to translate into territorial dominance rather than disciplinary problems. We predict Coquimbo to win and cover on goals.
- Best bet: Coquimbo to win
- Value play: Over 2.5 goals (five of the last six head-to-head meetings produced three or more goals)
- Both teams to score: Yes (Limache have scored in four of their last five matches)
| 🔥 Hot Tip: | Coquimbo to win both halves |
| ⚽ Total Goals: | Over 2.5 |
| 💥 Both Teams To Score: | Yes |

Team Analysis
Coquimbo arrive in strong form with three wins from their last six outings, including a commanding 3-0 group stage victory over Deportes Iquique. That result was their most complete performance recently, producing a clean sheet while converting efficiently. Their Copa Chile campaign is built on defensive solidity at home, with Gonzalo Flores reliable between the posts (12 saves in six matches). The 0-0 draw with O’Higgins and the 2-1 win over D. Concepcion earlier in the run show they can grind results even when not at their best. Juan Cornejo’s five assists in five games make him one of the most influential players in the squad from deep, and his distribution connects the defensive line to the press up front.
Limache opened their Copa Chile campaign with a 3-1 win over San Marcos de Arica, but that result flatters them slightly given San Marcos are the weakest side in the group. Their prior four matches tell a harder story: a 2-3 loss to D. Concepcion, a 0-1 defeat to Everton, a 2-3 loss to Coquimbo, and a 1-4 thrashing by La Serena. Vicente Álvarez leads their scoring with three goals in six appearances, and Jean Meneses provides creativity and consistency, but the squad as a whole struggles to hold results against organized opposition. Claudio González has made 14 saves in six matches, which reflects how much work Limache’s goalkeeper has had to do to keep scorelines respectable.

Pre-Game Odds and Win Probability: Coquimbo the Favourite
- Moneyline Coquimbo 1.74 | Limache 3.87
- Draw 3.39
- Over/Under Over 2.5 — | Under 2.5 —
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes — | No —
The 1.74 on Coquimbo at Rocketplay and Bovada is fair value given their home advantage, superior ranking, and form across the competition. The draw at 3.39 is priced about right but holds limited appeal given how attacking both sides tend to be in this fixture. Limache at 3.87 to 3.95 is tempting on paper but their away record against quality opponents makes it a poor investment. We see the best value in backing Coquimbo to win combined with over 2.5 goals, given that five of the last six meetings between these sides produced at least three goals.

Possible Starting Lineups
Coquimbo Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Gonzalo Flores
- DF: Dylan Escobar, Manuel Fernández, Benjamín Gazzolo, Juan Cornejo
- MF: Alejandro Camargo, Dylan Emanuel Glaby, Salvador Cordero
- FW: Nicolas Johansen, Cristian Zavala, Alejandro Azocar
Hernán Caputto should line up in his familiar 4-3-3, with Gonzalo Flores as the undisputed starter in goal after 12 saves across six matches. Juan Cornejo is the key figure in buildup play from the right back position, with five assists across five appearances making him arguably the most creative outlet in the squad. Nicolas Johansen is the focal point up front with three goals in five games and should be the first name on the teamsheet. Benjamín Gazzolo covers well defensively and contributes to set pieces, though his two red cards across five matches are a concern for discipline. Alejandro Camargo adds goals from midfield and gives Coquimbo an extra threat beyond the front three.
Limache Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Claudio González
- DF: Alfonso Parot, Augusto Ezequiel Aguirre, Misael Llantén, Yerko González
- MF: César Fuentes, Flavio Moya, Jean Meneses
- FW: Vicente Álvarez, Gonzalo Sosa, Joaquín Montecinos
Víctor Rivero deploys a 4-2-3-1 that gives Jean Meneses freedom to operate as a number ten, and his two goals and two assists across six games make him Limache’s most dangerous player. Vicente Álvarez leads the scoring charts with three goals in six appearances and will look to exploit any gaps in Coquimbo’s high defensive line. César Fuentes anchors the midfield with 208 passes and five interceptions, providing the defensive base that allows Meneses to press forward. Claudio González will be busy, as his 14 saves across six matches confirm, and Limache’s defensive shape will need to hold firm in the early stages to stay in this game.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Coquimbo are the stronger side on every measurable metric: home ground, global ranking, 2026 win rate (56% vs. 35%), and direct head-to-head record showing four wins from the last six meetings. Their 3-0 Copa Chile group stage win over Deportes Iquique was a statement result, and they beat Limache 3-2 just weeks ago in league play. Limache’s opening Copa Chile win came against the group’s weakest team, and their away form against top-half sides has been poor. We predict a Coquimbo win, most likely 2-1 or 3-1, with both teams finding the net based on Limache’s tendency to contribute goals even in defeat. The over 2.5 goals market is the strongest value play in this fixture.
