Colo Colo eyes Copa Chile leadership against O'Higgins

Colo Colo is set to challenge for the top spot in Group E of the Copa Chile as they face O'Higgins on Thursday. The match, scheduled for 7:30 PM at the Estadio Monumental, is a rescheduled fixture from the first round of the competition.

The 'Albos' are riding high after an impressive 0-3 away win against Recoleta last weekend. They aim to carry this form into their home game to overtake Unión Española, who currently leads the group with four points. Coach Fernando Ortiz plans to rotate his squad, bringing Leandro Hernández and Diego Ulloa back into the starting lineup.

The projected starting eleven for Colo Colo includes Gabriel Maureira; Jonathan Villagra, Arturo Vidal, Joaquín Sosa; Jeyson Rojas, Tomás Alarcón, Víctor Felipe Méndez, Diego Ulloa; Leandro Hernández, Maximiliano Romero, and Lautaro Pastrán. O'Higgins, having drawn their opening match 1-1 against Unión Española, needs a strong performance at the Monumental to keep their qualification hopes alive.
