Universidad Catolica Santiago at 1.44 to win feels a tad skinny given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the Primera this term. Their underlying numbers suggest they’re riding luck — stats nerds would avoid.
Huachipato’s 14.75 odds smells value, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
