Team News: Unión Española
Owing to an otherwise available group, there’s just the sole fitness problem for the Unión Española manager Ronald Fuentes to contend with. Felipe Massri (Knee surgery) won’t be in action.

Prediction
In our opinion, Unión Española and Deportes La Serena may well end up cancelling each other out here.
A close call, and we think a draw is quite likely. That is why we are leaning toward a tight encounter, finishing with a 1-1 draw at full-time.
