Prediction
We’re of the view that Palestino and Deportes Iquique could both end up scoring in what appears to be a good match-up, with little separating these two teams.
Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level. We’re therefore expecting a very close game with a score draw at full-time.
