🚨Confirmed XIs: La U in a direct clash near the top | OneFootball

Universidad de Chile and Huachipato face off today at 5:30 p.m. at the Estadio Nacional on Matchday 17 of the Chilean Championship, with Juan Lara Luco as referee. The "Romántico Viajero" come in with renewed confidence after a 2-1 win over Audax Italiano and sit in third place with 27 points, looking for a victory that keeps them firmly in the title race.

Meanwhile, the "Acereros" are in seventh place with 24 points after a 3-3 draw against Cobresal in the previous round. An away win would not only allow them to close the gap, but also repeat what they achieved on February 8, when they beat La U 2-1. With a recent head-to-head record of three wins for the Blues and two for Huachipato, an intense and decisive clash is expected in Santiago.
