The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Instituto are in the 8th position while the guests worry at 13th.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Deportivo Santamarina have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
