The maroon box aims to bounce back and restore its winning momentum after a stumble that ended an unbeaten streak with a defeat to Deportes Temuco at the Germán Becker stadium.
La Serena and Cobresal are set to kickoff the sixth date of the 2023 Promotion Championship, with action expected at La Portada this Sunday as the two clubs collide in a key late-stage showdown.
The maroon squad arrives at this clash following a 2-0 loss to Deportes Temuco in Temuco, a result that halted their current undefeated run for the season. Under the guidance of Juan José Luvera, the team slips to third place on 10 points, two behind league leaders San Luis. The setback serves as a reminder that the race for promotion remains tightly contested and every outcome matters in the early standings.
Meanwhile, Emiliano Astorga’s squad recovered their sense of momentum after a couple of results without a win, reclaiming a sense of confidence with a convincing 2-1 victory over Universidad de Concepción in the desert city clash. This win propelled the team to seventh in the table with seven points and underscored the ups-and-down nature of a league campaign where consistency is prized and every point counts. There is a fresh obstacle looming, as the club faces a suspended fixture against Antofagasta that adds extra pressure to maintain form in the upcoming schedule.
The most recent meeting between Garnets and Mineros occurred on August 4, 2019, during matchday 17, a game won 3-1 by the miners. The goals came from Felipe Báez, Ignacio Jara, and an own goal by Pedro Carrizo, a result that still sits in the memory of both clubs’ supporters as a reminder of the intensity of this regional rivalry.
