1st position in the Primera Division table for Universidad Catolica so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 7th-placed Union Espanola visits Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Copa Libertadores match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Internacional, so at least Universidad Católica are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
