Season ticket holders at Estadio La Portada de La Serena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with La Serena languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Curicó Unido will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Curicó Unido have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Curicó Unido could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Primera Division game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Coquimbo Unido. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Relegation threatens Serena who should definitely be looking for some points here. Curicó are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
