The San Marcos & Deportes Valdivia head coaches Peña and Yañez are both fearful of and eagerly anticipating this crucial match in the higher part of the Segunda División standings.
- San Marcos have the most scored goals (34) in Segunda División
- Deportes Valdivia have the fewest points from losing position (0) in Segunda División
Marcos have already won the league and the fans have gone wild! Even so, with the trophy already secured there could be issues regarding the team's motivation in this one. Deportes Valdivia is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Deportes Valdivia have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
