Copiapó form and stats

The hometeam coach Almandoz made a successful contribution in the game against Colo-Colo, bringing on Quinteros who scored the equalizer in the 1-1 draw.

Universidad Chile form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera Division travels is 5 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Universidad Chile are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

There were no winners in Universidad's previous match, the home game that ended 1-1 vs Colo-Colo (placed 3rd).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Unión La Calera wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
