Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Española are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Colo-Colo form and stats
When playing at home in the Primera Division, Colo-Colo have managed 9 wins, 2 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 15 games.

Unión Española form and stats
The visitors are W5-D1-L9 on the road this term. That's in the Primera Division. Three has not been a lucky number for Española as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Everton match.
Española lost away at Nublense (1-6) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Española lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-6 beating and focus on this one.
Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Palestino.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Española have scored 18 goals in 15 league games away. In the opposite end, Española have conceded 25 goals in their away games.
