The Audax Italiano manager F. Meneghini attacks this game with the team placed 4th so far. In the visitors dressing room Palestino and their manager I. Basay Hatibovic are in 9th place before this match.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Copa Libertadores.

This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
