The Celestial Dragons travel to Ester Roa Stadium aiming to claim their first win of the season and climb out of the relegation zone as the 2023 Promotion Championship moves into its sixth round.
The Ester Roa venue will host next Monday’s clash between Universidad de Concepción and Deportes Iquique, a key fixture in the ongoing battle for stability in the league’s lower half.
Under the guidance of Miguel Ramírez, Campanil seeks its initial triumph of the season. In the previous match, they were edged 2-1 by Cobreloa, a result that left them at the bottom of the standings without points. The visitors took an early lead through Yashir Islame at 11 minutes, but Cobreloa replied with goals from David Escalante at 77 minutes and Cristian Insaurralde at 85 minutes to seal the victory. The hosts will also be carrying two games in hand after suspensions against Rangers and Puerto Montt were enforced, adding complexity to their campaign.
Meanwhile, the Celestial Dragons arrive off a 1-1 draw with the Dolphins in a match that showcased their ability to salvage points despite pressure. Ramón Fernández struck for the visitors, yet Carlos Soza appeared to secure the draw for the home side at the 53-minute mark, highlighting the competitive balance in this encounter.
Historically, the most recent meeting between these clubs occurred on September 25, when the Celestial Dragons edged the Campanil 2-1 in Biobío, thanks to goals from Kevin Medel and Gustavo Guerreño. Since that June 2021 victory, the northern side has not managed another win against Universidad de Concepción, adding a narrative layer to this upcoming clash.
Fans can follow this match exclusively via TNT Sports Stadium’s streaming service, as the kickoff coincides with the Barnechea versus Rangers game, ensuring a busy evening for viewers across the league.
