This could be an interesting match as Univ. Concepción have their presumed home advantage while Antofagasta are ahead 8 points in the Primera Division table.

Antofagasta have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Antofagasta form and stats

3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Antofagasta, who have the fewest conceded goals (4) away in Primera Division, playing as the away team in the Primera Division this season.

Impressive finishing from A. Souper (2) and L. Guerra secured the home win 3-1 against Unión La Calera in their previous game. A 1-2 defeat away at Santiago Wanderers before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Everton in just three days.

Antofagasta have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 9 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Antofagasta as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
