This match features two teams living in the basement of the Primera B, Deportes Valdivia holding 16th place and Magallanes lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Deportes Valdivia are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Magallanes is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Deportes Valdivia form and stats
Deportes Valdivia's struggle is real here at Estadio Felix Gallardo with only 13 points collected from 13 Primera B games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-4-6. All in all it has been a very rough period for Deportes Valdivia who hasn’t won a game in their last 16 attempts. Their previous win was against San Luis, 197 days ago. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Deportes Valdivia fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the San Luis game long ago, can be stopped today.
Deportes Valdivia manager J. Press and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Deportes Santa Cruz (placed 11th) in the Primera B. Before that game, the home loss against Nublense with the scoreline 2-3.
Deportes Valdivia are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 13 attempts. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 21 goals have been conceded.
Magallanes form and stats
Magallanes, who have the fewest scored goals (23) in Primera B, have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Primera B, after 2-6-5 (13 played). Visiting Magallanes has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Rangers (placed 13th) in their previous outing. The Primera B match ended in a draw 1-1. A loss against Santiago Wanderers was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Magallanes as they have only managed to score 10 times from 13 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Magallanes have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
