Not much time to rest for the home team, as they had a Chilean Cup game only three days back. This match was also played here at Estadio Monumental David Arellano. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Antofagasta have had more rest.

These teams have little in common geographically as Antofagasta have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
