The season is still fairly new and the Primera B table has to be read with caution. So far Deportes Santa Cruz find themselves in 15th position and Puerto Montt are placed 12th.
Deportes Santa Cruz and Puerto Montt 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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Puerto Montt have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-8-27 (win-draw-loss) from 45 matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Puerto Montt have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
