Struggling Deportes Iquique will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Unión Española in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • Deportes Iquique has the fewest scored goals in the second half (7) in Primera Division
  • Unión Española has the most points from losing position (13) in Primera Division

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Primera Division match only four days ago. That game was an away game at La Serena, so at least Deportes Iquique are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Unión Española have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
