It's early days in the Primera Division and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on! Universidad Chile have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in air distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
