Their performances reflect a need for consistency, but with the support of their home crowd and a slightly better form compared to La Serena, Everton CD will be looking to grab all three points in this crucial fixture.

Everton CD Key Players

Everton CD will rely heavily on their top scorer, Sebastian Sosa, who has netted 4 goals this season. His attacking prowess, paired with the creativity of midfielders like Alan Medina and Benjamin Berrios, will be crucial against La Serena’s defence.

On the defensive side, the duo of Ramiro Gonzalez and Hugo Magallanes will need to be at their best to protect goalkeeper Jose Ignacio Gonzalez and secure a rare clean sheet.

Expected lineup for Everton CD:

• Goalkeeper: Jose Ignacio Gonzalez
• Defenders: Lucas Soto, Ramiro Gonzalez, Hugo Magallanes, Alex Ibacache
• Midfielders: Alan Medina, Benjamin Berrios, Alvaro Madrid, Julian Alfaro
• Forwards: Sebastian Sosa, Raimundo Rebolledo

Key individual battles to watch include Sosa versus La Serena’s central defenders, Nicolas Ferreyra and Lucas Alarcón. This matchup could define Everton CD’s goal-scoring opportunities.

Everton CD Suspensions & Injuries

Everton CD currently does not have any players suspended or injured. This gives head coach Mauricio Larriera a full squad at his disposal, which is a significant advantage heading into the match against La Serena.

With no absences to manage, Larriera can field his strongest lineup, ensuring that Everton CD is well-prepared to take full advantage of their home fixture. The availability of key players like Sebastian Sosa in attack and Ramiro Gonzalez in defense bolsters their chances of securing a vital win.

This clean bill of health could provide the stability and depth needed to address their recent inconsistencies and aim for a crucial three points in this mid-table clash.

Everton CD Tactics and Formation

Everton CD Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: 4-4-2
• Key Forwards: Sebastian Sosa (4 goals), Raimundo Rebolledo
• Midfield Quartet: Alan Medina, Benjamín Berríos, Álvaro Madrid, Julián Alfaro
• Defensive Shape: Utilising experienced defenders such as Ramiro Gonzalez and Hugo Magallanes

Everton CD under Mauricio Larriera typically deploy a 4-4-2 formation, which offers a balanced approach between attack and defense. Sebastian Sosa, the top scorer, plays a pivotal role upfront, often supported by Raimundo Rebolledo. The midfield quartet, including Alan Medina and Benjamin Berrios, aims to control possession and supply the forwards.

Defensively, Everton CD has managed only one clean sheet in their last five games, indicating areas for improvement. However, their tactic to leverage home advantage while maintaining a high press during transitions might give them the edge against La Serena.

The team frequently targets the 61-75-minute interval for increased attacking pressure, a strategy that has proven effective in disrupting opponents’ defenses.

La Serena Team Analysis

La Serena Recent Performance

• La Serena 0 – 2 Huachipato (24 August 2025)
• Union La Calera 1 – 1 La Serena (16 August 2025)
• La Serena 3 – 3 O’Higgins (9 August 2025)
• Union Espanola 1 – 0 La Serena (2 August 2025)
• La Serena 0 – 2 Cobresal (26 July 2025)

La Serena has struggled to find form recently, recording three losses and two draws in their last five matches. Their recent draw against Union La Calera and a high-scoring game against O’Higgins show glimpses of offensive potential but also underline their defensive frailties.

In these fixtures, La Serena has averaged 0.80 goals per game and failed to keep a clean sheet, reflecting their defensive vulnerabilities. The team under Cristian Paulucci will need to address these weaknesses and find a more solid defensive footing to climb the standings. Despite these struggles, their ability to score in 81% of matches this season provides a glimmer of hope ahead of their clash with Everton CD.

La Serena Key Players

La Serena’s hopes will heavily rest on their top scorer, Jeisson Vargas, who has netted six times this season. Vargas’s attacking abilities will be crucial, especially against Everton CD’s less-than-stellar defence. Alongside him, Angelo Henriquez is expected to spearhead the attack, supported from midfield by Manuel Rivera and Sebastian Gallegos.

Defensively, Nicolas Ferreyra and Lucas Alarcón will have the critical task of containing Everton CD’s forwards, particularly Sebastian Sosa, in a bid to secure a rare clean sheet.

Expected lineup for La Serena:

• Goalkeeper: Eryin Sanhueza
• Defenders: Jeyson Rojas, Nicolas Ferreyra, Lucas Alarcón, Cristián Gutiérrez
• Midfielders: Sebastian Diaz, Manuel Rivera, Sebastian Gallegos, Felipe Chamorro, Esteban Moreira
• Forward: Angelo Henriquez

Key individual battles to watch will include Vargas against Ramiro Gonzalez, potentially defining La Serena’s attacking success.

La Serena Suspensions & Injuries

La Serena currently does not have any players suspended or injured, which comes as a relief for head coach Cristian Paulucci. With a full squad available, Paulucci can stick to his preferred starting lineup and will have more options on the bench to make tactical adjustments if needed.

This unblemished health report is particularly crucial for La Serena as they look to break their nine-match winless streak in the Primera Division. Key players like Jeisson Vargas and Angelo Henriquez will be vital in their attacking strategies, and the absence of injuries allows them to field their best eleven to improve their fortunes against Everton CD.

La Serena Tactics and Formation

La Serena Tactical Breakdown:

• Formation: 4-1-4-1
• Key Forward: Jeisson Vargas (6 goals)
• Midfield Structure: Manuel Rivera, Sebastian Gallegos, Felipe Chamorro, Esteban Moreira
• Defensive Pair: Nicolas Ferreyra, Lucas Alarcón

La Serena typically employs a 4-1-4-1 formation, designed to offer both defensive solidity and attacking prowess through the midfield. Jeisson Vargas, their top scorer, will be pivotal in breaking down Everton CD’s defense. The midfield quartet, led by Manuel Rivera and Sebastian Gallegos, aims to control the center of the park and provide critical support to Vargas.

Defensively, the centre-back pairing of Nicolas Ferreyra and Lucas Alarcón will be under pressure to limit the opportunities available to Everton CD’s forwards. The team’s strategy often involves focusing on defensive resilience while taking advantage of quick transitions to catch the opponent off-guard, especially in the 61-75-minute interval where they tend to push hard for goals.
