Insights:
  • Cobreloa has the fewest dropped points from leading position (3) in Primera B
  • Copiapó has the most scored goals (46) in Primera B

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Primera B. That game was also an away game, at Nublense. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
