Cobresal vs La Serena Prediction & Betting Tips (27 February)

Cobresal welcome Deportes La Serena to Estadio El Cobre in a Primera División clash scheduled for February 27, 2026, a fixture that arrives with plenty of recent history between the sides. Over the last few meetings, Cobresal have often had the upper hand at home, including a 3-1 league win in February 2025 and a solid 2-0 away victory in July 2025. La Serena, however, showed they can upset the script with a 2-1 Copa Chile success in El Salvador in January 2025, reminding everyone that this matchup rarely follows a simple pattern.

Recent form tilts slightly toward Cobresal, even if their results have been mixed. They have produced eye-catching home wins such as 3-0 against Colo Colo and 1-0 over Huachipato, while also edging Universidad Católica 3-2 in a dramatic encounter.

For a deeper look at Cobresal’s broader trajectory, you can revisit their clash with Everton here: 2-1, while La Serena’s away profile is reflected in their meeting with Deportes Iquique: 2-1.
