Two teams are set to push hard to escape the relegation zone as they clash at the Municipal de San Bernardo.
Magellan And United Curico will inaugurate the thirteenth round of the 2023 National Championship, facing off on Tuesday the 9th in San Bernardo. Both squads arrive with the same pressing need: secure a win to climb out of danger, a momentum shift that could redefine their season at the halfway point.
The Academy sits at the foot of the table with 8 points, while the Albirrojos are just above the drop zone with 10 points. The match carries extra weight for Nicolás Núñez’s side, who still have a suspended fixture against Huachipato due to adverse weather that affected the Biobío region, a delay that only adds to the urgency in these next fixtures.
Damián Muñoz’s side comes into this clash on the back of a 2-3 loss at La Granja against Everton, marking a third consecutive defeat. The Carabeleros, on the other hand, were edged by Deportes Copiapó the day before, extending their winless run to five matches. Each team will look to turn things around with a performance that can restore belief among their supporters and reset the campaign’s momentum.
Historically, the most recent encounter between these clubs dates back to March 2017, when the away side secured a narrow victory. Nelson Rebolledo converted the decisive penalty, sealing a 1-0 result for the visitors and leaving a lasting memory for fans of both sides.
Television coverage of the match is available on TNT Sports HD and TNT 2, with streaming options through TNT Sports Stadium.
