Universidad de Chile hosts Huachipato at the Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez for Matchday 11 of the 2025 Primera League. The team led by Gustavo Álvarez is already putting behind their good performance against Carabobo in the 2025 Copa Libertadores, to focus on their next challenge against the team coached by Jaime García in a new round of the National Championship. The Steelmakers arrive shaken, after losing in both the League and Copa Chile, but with the ambition to prevail against the blue side.

A change in U’s defense against Huachipato

Álvarez is making just one change compared to the starting eleven that played in the Libertadores midweek, bringing in Nicolás Ramírez in the defensive line instead of Matías Zaldivia. The coach is making this change with the crucial match against Botafogo in the continental tournament in mind, a game that will determine if the Blues advance to the next round, and for which Zaldivia will be unavailable due to suspension from accumulated yellow cards. In the medical report, the U updated the status of Israel Poblete, who has an adductor muscle tear and remains in rehabilitation. With this, the starting lineup for “La U” will be: Gabriel Castellón; Fabián Hormazábal, Franco Calderón, and Nicolás Ramírez; Matías Sepúlveda, Maxi Guerrero, Marcelo Díaz, Charles Aránguiz, Javier Altamirano; Leandro Fernández and Rodrigo Contreras.
