This could be an interesting match as Deportivo Cuenca have their presumed home advantage while Universidad Católica are ahead 5 points in the Liga Pro table.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
