I will start with a general comment about Everton. For two consecutive seasons he had Menegini on the bench. A pretty honest coach for the Chilean reality. He took the team to the Copa Sudamericana and reached a cup final. The many draws were the hallmark of that Everton and people were crying him out for it. When Esteban Solari took over this season and made some wins, the Everton fans were happy to get rid of the Menegini of draws. Now, after four draws in a row and with a better squad than the one Menegini had, Esteban Solari is heavily criticized and if he does not make a good finish in the league for 7th place, it will be difficult to remain on the team's bench in 2025.
In the previous one, the Everton de Vina, with more players throughout the second half (after managing to fall behind in the score), were able to draw 1-1 against Nublense in the end.
We have said it about them. A fighting team in big matches, unreliable at home. He doesn't even win games that are to be won based on appearance.
Colo Colo is likely to tease the lineup. They won 2-0 against Coquimbo last Friday. He had a tough trip to Barranquilla, Colombia for the Copa Libertadores rematch with Junior, but at least he drew a 1-2 double and checked his ticket to the last 8 of the tournaments where he will face River Plate.
So, excitement and psychological dope are a given for the Albos who know that in order to stay close to the top they have to grit their teeth and win such games that are by definition difficult. Even changes to make by Almiron, who I don't think will hurt his eleven much, will bring in key players during the match. Unless he goes with a starting eleven from the start. This will become clear a few hours before kick-off. I focus purely on the psychological and on everyone's statements that they want the championship as well. Well, if they want to, they have to go through Sausalito
