Palestino have delivered great football so far this season, being 4th position in the table. Audax Italiano can look both up and down from their 9th position.

Insights:
  • Palestino have the most clean sheets (9) in Primera Division
  • Audax Italiano have the fewest matches under the total-line (3) in Primera Division

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Audax Italiano have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 12-15-16 (win-draw-loss) from 43 matches.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
