Nublense vs Audax Italiano Prediction: Chilean derby in Copa Sudamericana

Nublense will host A.Italiano in the Chilean derby in Copa Sudamericana 1/16 finals first match. These teams are very equal this season and in the domestic championship they are separated only one point. However, this is continental competition and ambitions of both teams are different so it’s expected this duel to be very tense and uncertain until the end of both matches.

Nublense

Form: LLDDD

Nublense finished 3rd in their group in Copa Libertadores with only one win in six matches. They are currently in a bit of crisis and bad results as they failed to win in their last 6 matches drawing 3 and losing 3. In the league, they have 5 wins, 3 draws, and 8 defeats and they aren’t very good at home ground as well with 3 wins, a draw, and 5 defeats. This match will be a tough challenge for them to end the bad run.

Audax Italiano

Form: LLDWW

Audax Italiano finished 2nd in the group in Copa Sudamericana and in this match against their Chilean rival enters in a much better mood. They are 11th in the league with 5 wins, 4 draws, and 7 defeats, and they are also winless in the last 3 matches, but they can be satisfied with their form in away matches. In the last 8 matches, they have 4 wins, 3 draws, and a defeat as visitors.

There is no doubt that this duel will be among the best and most uncertain in this round of Copa Sudamericana, mostly because these teams know each other well but now will play in different competition. Audax Italiano may be considered as favorite because of the good form in away matches. We can expect tight match, but I think that both teams will manage to score at least one goal each.
