Colo-Colo are the stronger side on the season's record but arrive for this Copa Chile first leg without ten players on international duty, against an Audax Italiano team also missing three Under-20 call-ups.

Colo-Colo remain the most likely winners, yet 1.7 is not a price worth taking. Audax Italiano to win or draw at 2.05, Audax Italiano to win at 4.33 and both teams to score at 1.88 are the prices with an edge.

Context

Copa Chile has fixed both legs of this round-of-16 tie at the Estadio Nacional in Ñuñoa, a large shared ground, after concerts took the Monumental and the Bicentenario de La Florida out of use. The most concrete consequence is that Colo-Colo lose the second-leg home advantage they earned by winning their group, while Audax Italiano give up La Florida for a much bigger stadium. Because both clubs are in Santiago, travel is unaffected and the change is about environment, pitch familiarity and crowd size rather than logistics. Neither club has explained how it will handle playing both legs away from its own ground, so the size of the effect is unproven.
- Audax Italiano announced that the first leg would be played at the Estadio Nacional on Tuesday 22 September at 20:30, with the return there on Friday 25 September at 20:00.
- Colo-Colo confirmed the same venue and kick-off for the first leg in their own fixture post.
- Bolavip reported that both legs moved because the Estadio Monumental and the Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida are booked for concerts.
- Colo-Colo finished top of Copa Chile Group E with a 3-0 win over Unión Española on 27 August, which gave them the right to close the tie at home.

A FIFA window sits directly on top of this two-legged tie, and Colo-Colo are the side most exposed: five senior Chile internationals plus a group of youth internationals are away, and En Cancha counted ten confirmed absences for the Copa Chile round of 16. The list takes defenders, midfielders and forwards out of the squad, forcing Fernando Ortiz to rebuild a starting XI for a knockout match he cannot treat lightly. The exact size of the group is still being reported differently, with Al Aire Libre counting 13 internationals, so the numbers should be read as approximate. Ortiz has publicly welcomed the call-ups as a sign of the club's player development rather than treating them only as a loss.
- Chile's September squad included five Colo-Colo players - D. Ulloa, J. Villagra, V. Méndez, L. Hernández and I. Román - who will miss both Copa Chile legs on 22 and 25 September.
- Radio ADN named five further Colo-Colo call-ups for the Juegos Suramericanos, including Gabriel Maureira, Bruno Torres and Vicente Martínez.
- En Cancha reported ten confirmed Colo-Colo absences for the round of 16, while Al Aire Libre counted 13 internationals in the squad that drew 1-1 with Concepción on 13 September.
- Fernando Ortiz described himself as the happiest man for the number of Colo-Colo players called up.

Colo-Colo's goalkeeping department has changed shape in the fortnight before the tie. Vozinha, the 40-year-old Cape Verde international who made his Colo-Colo debut in the Copa Chile on 26 August and his first league appearance on 6 September, is away with his national team and will miss both legs. Gabriel Maureira, who kept goal in the 5-1 league win over Audax Italiano on 30 August, has stayed to compete for the place but has been carrying a fitness question. Fernando de Paul is training normally again after injury, and no starter has been named for Tuesday, leaving the position the least settled part of the side.
- T13 reported that Vozinha travelled to Africa and will not play either leg of the round of 16 against Audax Italiano.
- Fernando de Paul was reported to be training normally and closing on a return, while Gabriel Maureira was described as a doubt for the tie.
- TNT Sports framed the first leg as a straight choice between Maureira and de Paul.
- Bolavip reported that Maureira chose to stay and fight for the Colo-Colo gloves rather than join Chile's Under-20s.

Chile's Under-20 side is at the Juegos Suramericanos in Argentina, and three members of Audax Italiano's senior squad are with it: Vicente Zenteno, Martín Jiménez and Mario Sandoval. All three started the win over Colombia on 21 September that put Chile into the semi-finals, one day before the first leg at the Estadio Nacional. Audax have not said whether the three will be released from the squad or returned for the first leg, so how much this costs them is genuinely uncertain. What is clear is that their build-up to the tie has been running without all three.
- Audax Italiano announced on 8 September that Vicente Zenteno, Martín Jiménez and Mario Sandoval had been called up by Chile's Under-20 side for the XIII Juegos Suramericanos Santa Fe 2026, which began on 14 September.
- The club reported on 21 September that the same three players started a 3-2 win over Colombia that took Chile into the semi-finals.
- The Copa Chile first leg in Ñuñoa is scheduled for 22 September.
