Colo Colo vs Concepción

Colo Colo host Deportes Concepción at Estadio Monumental in a fixture that carries different stakes for each side. Colo Colo sit top of the table with 53 points, closing in on a 35th league title, while Deportes Concepción have climbed to ninth with 23 points after a long fight to escape the relegation zone. Form has told two different stories. Colo Colo followed a 5-1 thrashing of Audax Italiano with a goalless draw at Huachipato, where Diego Ulloa twice struck the woodwork and Arturo Vidal marshaled the defense under coach Fernando Ortíz. Concepción arrive on a six-match winning run across the league and Copa Chile, with Joaquín Larrivey the key figure after his late penalty winner against Universidad de Concepción. The two sides also met earlier this year in the Copa de la Liga, where Colo Colo came from behind to beat Concepción. Our prediction: 3-0
