Unión Española will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 3 points behind Coquimbo Unido.

The hosts Unión Española saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Chilean Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus Audax Italiano, was also a home game here at Estadio Santa Laura-Universidad SEK. The away team is better rested. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Audax Italiano.

Unión Española's last game was hosting Audax Italiano (placed 5th) and winning 2-1. A 1-1 draw away in the Primera Division before that, with Univ. Concepcion the opponent.
