SANTIAGO, Chile (Interstat) — A surging CD O’Higgins will look to avenge a historic defeat when it hosts rival Universidad de Chile in a Chilean Primera División clash on Sunday.

The match at Estadio El Teniente in Rancagua is a highly anticipated rematch of their meeting on May 31, 2025, where Universidad de Chile delivered a stunning 6-0 thrashing of O’Higgins. That lopsided result will undoubtedly be on the minds of the home squad.

O’Higgins (8-7-5) enters the contest with momentum, coming off a 4-2 victory over Ñublense on Nov. 8 and a statement 2-0 win on the road against Universidad Católica on Nov. 2. Their recent form suggests a team capable of challenging the league’s top sides.

Universidad de Chile (7-6-8) is also in strong form, riding a three-match unbeaten streak. They are fresh from a wild 4-3 win over Deportes Limache on Nov. 9, preceded by a 2-0 victory against Everton. However, their record shows inconsistency, with the 6-0 win over O’Higgins standing in stark contrast to other results.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the contest is projected to end in a 1-1 draw, pointing to a tightly contested affair far removed from their last encounter.

The result will be crucial for both sides as they navigate the final stretch of the season. O’Higgins will look to continue its climb, while Universidad de Chile aims to solidify its position.
