Deportes Iquique hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 27 points and a 16th position in the Primera Division table. Visiting Palestino holds 8th place with 32 pts.

Insights:
  • Deportes Iquique has the fewest scored goals in the second half (9) in Primera Division
  • Palestino has the fewest scored goals in the first half (8) in Primera Division

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

These teams have little in common geographically as Palestino have to travel 1700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
