Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Melipilla in 6th and Copiapó in 9th place.
It's no vacation for neither Melipilla nor Copiapó as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
It's quite the trip for Copiapó when visiting Melipilla as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.
Melipilla form and stats
5-7-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera B numbers at home for Melipilla so far this season.
The Melipilla supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Union San Felipe in Primera B and win 2-0. In the game before, an away victory match versus Puerto Montt with a 3-1 scoreline.
The Melipilla fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 13 matches. Melipilla are not conceding a lot of goals here at Nacional in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 9 from 13 matches.
Copiapó form and stats
There's been little loot from Copiapó's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 13 away games in the Primera B. Copiapó only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 7 draws.
Copiapó play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Barnechea. A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting San Luis.
Copiapó made it very difficult for themselves in their last game, J. Jaime receiving a red card in the 43rd minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Copiapó won the match 2-1!
The visitors have scored 11 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Copiapó have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.
