Carrying a 7 point dominance in the league table, San Marcos regulars want to see their team get max points from this match versus Univ. Concepción.

Insights:
  • San Marcos have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Univ. Concepción have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

These are hectic days for the hosts, as they played only four days ago in the Primera B. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Barnechea.

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2500 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

The season is still full of potential for San Marcos as they can still win the whole Primera B. Univ. Concepción are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
