El Campanil aims to keep the momentum and climb away from the relegation zone it shares with Puerto Montt and Santiago Morning, continuing a positive run in the Promotion Championship. The Ester Roa Rebolledo stadium will host a pivotal match where Universidad de Concepción faces Recoleta Sports, a clash set for this Friday and counted as the eighteenth round of the 2023 Promotion Championship.
Last weekend, La U broke their winless stretch by defeating Puerto Montt in Chinquihue, extending their winning streak to three games. A second goal from Matías Donoso secured the victory, giving Miguel Ramírez’s squad some breathing room at the foot of the table, a position they hold alongside the Albiverdes and Santiago Morning.
Recoleta, under Felipe Núñez, collected points on the road against Deportes Temuco, a match marked by Temuco playing the majority with ten men after an expulsion at 23 minutes. Despite the numerical disadvantage, the Albivioletas managed to stay steady, remaining in twelfth place with 19 points.
The most recent head-to-head between these teams happened on February 28, with Recoleta taking a 2-1 win thanks to goals from Jean Paul Pineda and Roberto Riveros. Claudio Navarrete delivered the consolation goal for Universidad de Concepción in that encounter.
