REF’s picks

Colo-Colo are heavy leaders at the top of the table and should comfortably dispatch a struggling Universidad de Concepción side mired near the bottom. Backing the hosts to cover the -1.75 handicap makes sense given the vast gap in quality and form, even if Marcos Bolados is out injured. However, laying this many goals always carries the risk of a lower-intensity professional win if Colo-Colo settle for a two-goal cushion.

1. 1Colo-Colo sit comfortably at the summit with 55 points, vastly superior to their relegation-threatened visitors.
2. 2Universidad de Concepción arrive on a poor four-match losing run in the league without showing much cutting edge.
3. 3Marcos Bolados's muscular absence robs Colo-Colo of an attacking option, and big margins are notoriously hard to manage.
