The Unionists aim to extend their streak to a fourth straight win, taking on the Microbuseros who recently fell to Deportes Temuco in a tight matchup.
The match will be staged at the Joaquín Muñoz Garciato venue, serving as the seventh date of the 2023 Promotion Championship and a pivotal moment for Santa Cruz sports and the Santiago region alike.
The squad under coach Fabián Marzuca is chasing a fourth consecutive victory to solidify a place in the Liguilla mix. In their last outing, the Unionists edged Puerto Montt 2-1 in a fiercely contested clash at the Chinquihue Bicentennial, a game notable for Leandro Ruiz’s send off in the Velero.
Meanwhile the Microbuseros, who had just beaten Unión San Felipe, were defeated 0-1 by Deportes Temuco at the Municipal de La Pintana. Despite the setback, they maintained a firm position at the upper end of the table as a consequence of their nine-match undefeated stretch.
The most recent head-to-head between the clubs occurred on July 8, when the Albiazules celebrated a late winner from Albano Becica at 71 minutes. Looking at the recent five-match history, each side owns two wins, promising a tightly fought duel when they meet again.
The Unionists versus the Minibus Drivers contest will be broadcast on TNT Sports HD and TNT 2. Streaming options include TNT Sports Stadium online, with Movistar Play, Entel TV, DirecTV GO, Claro Video, VTR Play and Zapping offering coverage for subscribers of either TNTHD or TNT2.
