Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Audax Italiano & O'Higgins face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Chilean Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
The hosts Audax Italiano saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Copa Sudamericana. That game was an away game at Newell's Old Boys, so at least Italiano are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

The Italiano boss Marcogiuseppe and his side return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Newell's Old Boys in the Copa Sudamericana.
