  • League leaders Colo-Colo, on 52 points, will visit Huachipato on September 6 in the 22nd round of Chile’s Primera League.
  • Colo-Colo enters the match after a 5-1 win over Audax Italiano and nine consecutive away victories, while Huachipato faces a far more difficult situation.
  • Coach Fernando Ortiz is expected to field a lineup including Arturo Vidal and debut goalkeeper Vozinha.

Colo-Colo’s remarkable away run faces another test on Sunday, when the league leaders visit a struggling Huachipato at Concepción’s Ester Roa Rebolledo Stadium.

The match, scheduled for 5 p.m. local time, is a meeting between teams in sharply contrasting form. Colo-Colo leads the Primera League with 52 points and arrives after crushing Audax Italiano 5-1. The result extended its winning streak away from home to nine matches.

The Cacique now sits two victories short of surpassing the club’s historic away-winning record, set in 2015. Fernando Ortiz is expected to use Vozinha in goal, with Alfonso Olguín, Arturo Vidal and Iván Román in defense. Jeyson Rojas, Álvaro Madrid, Víctor Felipe Méndez and Diego Ulloa are listed in midfield, while Leandro Hernández, Maximiliano Romero and Lautaro Pastrán lead the attack.

Vozinha’s appearance would mark his Primera League debut. Huachipato, meanwhile, enters the fixture under far darker circumstances, with the article describing the club’s outlook as bleak.
