It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Primera Division.

It's quite the trip for Cobresal when visiting Colo-Colo as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.

Relegation threatens Colo-Colo who should definitely be looking for some points here. For Cobresal most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
