It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the O'Higgins game long ago, can be stopped today.
In their previous game, the manager C. Arán led his Melipilla to a defeat in the Primera Division match away at Antofagasta. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Municipal de La Pintana.
