Magallanes are flying at 1st, while Deportes Iquique are hanging back 29 points behind in the league table. Can they shorten the gap?

Insights:
  • Magallanes have the most scored goals (38) in Primera B
  • Deportes Iquique have yet to win a game away.

Deportes Iquique have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
