Venue: Estadio Tierra de Campeones (12000 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the Primera Division, Deportes Iquique holding 18th place and O'Higgins lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

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 have little in common geographically as O'Higgins have to travel 1800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
