Huachipato and La Serena come into this match in completely different form. Huachipato are unbeaten in 5 straight, but only 3 of those were wins and they closed with a 1-1 draw, while La Serena just won 3-1 in their latest match and look the side with more going forward over the last five games. Huachipato won 3 of their last five without conceding a goal, but their attack is not especially fearsome, hitting the target just 3.67 times per game over their last 10, and they clearly cede possession to opponents. La Serena create more (5.4 shots on target per game) and hold more of the ball, but their defence leaks, conceding 42 goals in 25 matches. This game therefore shapes up as one where La Serena see more of the ball and try to open up the hosts, who are comfortable sitting deep and countering. The thing to watch from kick-off is how high Huachipato play. If they keep sitting deep and let La Serena have the ball, the game becomes an exchange of blows where the visitors get sustained attacking chances and have a real shot at taking a good result home.
