Primera Division: What this game might lack in glamour it should make up in energy and dedication. Get set for Antofagasta - Curicó Unido!

Insights:
  • Antofagasta have the most scored goals in the first half (15) in Primera Division
  • Curicó Unido have the most conceded goals in the first half (15) in Primera Division

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

These teams have little in common geographically as Curicó Unido have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
