Palestino Team Overview
Palestino sit fourth in the table and are in reasonably decent form, winning three of their last five matches. They recently beat Universidad de Concepción 2-1, though before that they lost to Cobresal 0-2. The team are heavily influenced by where they play. At home things are considerably better, particularly in attack. Their season average is 1.55 goals scored per game, but at home that rises to 2.18.

Universidad Catolica Team Overview
Universidad Católica are in near-perfect form right now, having won three matches in a row. Their recent 1-0 victory over Everton has helped them hold second place in the table - though only on goal difference (47:31), as other sides are level on points. With Palestino among those chasing them, Universidad Católica are unlikely to ease up. They should continue playing with plenty of attacking intent. Their seasonal average of 2.14 goals per game is the best in the league. Away from home that figure drops to 1.64, but that is still a reasonable return. The attacking quality is there, and it should help offset the defensive difficulties that are expected.
