An important duel in the bottom section of the Primera Division, with both La Serena and Coquimbo Unido experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 17th place.

Insights:
  • La Serena haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Coquimbo Unido haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Copa Sudamericana. That game, against Junior, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Coquimbo Unido.
