Prediction Antofagasta vs Santiago Wanderers Season 2025 – Betting Tips for the Chilean Cup on June 30, 2025

Match Overview

As the excitement mounts for the Round of 16 of the Chilean Cup, all eyes will be on the Estadio Regional Calvo y Bascuñán in Antofagasta. The home side, Antofagasta, will be looking to turn their fortunes around against the formidable Santiago Wanderers on June 30, 2025. With recent performances depicting contrasting paths for both teams, fans are eagerly anticipating a thrilling encounter.

Home Team: Antofagasta

Antofagasta enters this match with a rather mixed bag of performances recently. The highlight was a commanding 5-0 victory against Magallanes earlier in June, but they followed that with a disappointing 3-0 defeat at the hands of Deportes Santa Cruz. With a record of three wins and three losses in their last six matches, inconsistency seems to be their greatest hindrance. While they have scored a total of five goals in those matches, they have conceded an equal amount, showcasing a shaky defense. They will need to tighten their backline if they expect to triumph here, especially following their recent head-to-head loss against Santiago Wanderers just weeks ago.

Away Team: Santiago Wanderers

On the other side, Santiago Wanderers is riding high on confidence. With four wins and only two losses in their last six fixtures, they have exhibited an ability to score; in fact, they netted five goals in their recent match against Cobreloa, indicating a potent offense. However, they're not just heavy on the scoring front; they have demonstrated a sturdy defense, having kept three clean sheets recently. Their ability to score comfortably on the road bodes well for them going into this match.

Previously meeting on June 8, 2025, Santiago Wanderers convincingly won 3-0, showcasing their dominance. With the momentum on their side, they will be keen to repeat such a performance in what promises to be an intense matchup.
