vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

In the Copa Chile round of 16 there is no league table to lean on, so the real data are the recent games. Deportes Santa Cruz drew 0-0 with Recoleta in their latest game; before that came a 1-0 win at Deportes Iquique, a 1-1 with Union Espanola, a 0-0 at Union San Felipe and, further back, a 0-1 loss at Magallanes. Across the last five, one win, three draws and one defeat. O'Higgins have had a more uneven run: they lost 0-1 at A. Italiano in the latest game, before that beat Union La Calera 2-1, before that lost 2-3 at U. Catolica and won 3-1 at Recoleta, and further back lost 0-1 to Palestino. Across the last five, two wins and three defeats. In the head-to-head O'Higgins are ahead: they won 1-0 in January 2025, 1-0 in January 2022 and 4-1 in June 2019, while Deportes Santa Cruz had won 3-2 three days earlier, on 9 June 2019. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
