Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 900 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

Curicó Unido form and stats

As mentioned below, Curicó Unido are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Primera Division games.

In their previous game, the manager Galaz led his Curicó to a defeat away at Union La Calera. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Bicentenario La Granja. A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Union La Calera) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3. The defeat against Union La Calera was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored six minutes into stoppage time (by Lomónaco).

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Audax Italiano.

Early season league goal statistics from Curicó Unido's 2 home games: {3 goals}, 1 conceded.
