Deportes Santa Cruz and Copiapó should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Copiapó have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
