Insights:
  • Copiapó have the most scored goals in the first half (24) in Primera B

Puerto Montt are done competing for places this season; they will remain in 5th place whatever happens now. Copiapó is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season. 2 - 1 - 2 with 4-4. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Copiapó when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Copiapó play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

These teams have little in common geographically as Copiapó have to travel 1800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It's no vacation for neither Puerto 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.
