Universidad Catolica and Colo Colo will battle for the right to be named Chilean Super Cup champions on Sunday.
Catolica are currently defending champions of the trophy, having seen off Nublense on penalties last year. They earned the right to defend their crown by virtue of finishing as champions in the league last season.

Universidad Catolica have not been in action since wrapping up their league campaign with a 3-0 away win over Everton. The win helped La Católica win the title by a six-point margin.
