🚨 Line-ups confirmed: U de Chile v O'Higgins at the Nacional | OneFootball

Universidad de Chile welcomes O’Higgins at the National Stadium for matchday 13 of the 2025 First League, where the blue team is going all out to compete in the top zone of the table.

The team led by Gustavo Álvarez comes into this duel intending to turn the page, after the painful elimination from the Copa Libertadores, despite a good group stage that left them, with 10 points, qualified for the Copa Sudamericana playoffs.

On the other hand, the "Capo de Provincia" comes from defeating Ñublense 1-0 at the Nelson Oyarzún Stadium in Chillán, this for matchday 12 of the National Tournament, and now is one point above the U in the table, although they have already played two more matches (the Blues have pending the clash against Unión Española from matchday 4 and the Superclásico from the seventh).

The starting XI of U de Chile against O'Higgins

It should be noted the absence of Rodrigo Contreras, so Lucas Di Yorio returns to the starting lineup in the attack. With the return of Matías Zaldivia, Nicolás Ramírez leaves the defensive line and goes to the bench; also Israel Poblete is a substitute, for the return of Javier Altamirano to the starting lineup.

La U comes out with Castellón in goal; Hormazábal, Calderón, Zaldivia and Sepúlveda in defense; Aránguiz and Díaz in the middle; Guerrero, Altamirano and Leandro Fernández further forward; Di Yorio as the attacking reference.

This is how O'Higgins lines up against la U

The coach Francisco Meneghini must make a mandatory change in the team that just beat Ñublense: Juan Ignacio Díaz suffered a tear and is ruled out. The coach moves Felipe Faúndez to defense, to include Joaquín Montecinos as a winger.

They play with Carabalí in goal; Faúndez, González, Robledo and Pavez in defense; Leiva and Lugo in the double pivot; Montecinos and Godoy on the wings; Rabello more loose and up front Calderón.
