Struggling Deportes Valdivia will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Melipilla in the upcoming league round. It’s 12th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Melipilla have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
