The Unionists will press for progress after six straight matches without a win, a stretch they’ll aim to snap when they host San Marcos de Arica in Santa Cruz. The clash, set to close the 13th round of the 2023 Promotion Championship before the league break, promises intensity as both sides look to solidify their positions on the table.
Fabián Marzuca’s squad arrives with a clear mandate: break the winless run and climb out of the basement. Their most recent result, a 4-1 defeat at the hands of San Luis at the Lucio Fariña stadium, left them stuck on a low 13 points. It was a setback that underscored the uphill battle they face to overturn a recent sequence of disappointing outcomes and reassert themselves in the fight for a return to form.
By contrast, Bravos del Morro travel with momentum and belief. Francisco Arrué’s group has been unbeaten in five contests and carries 15 points into this encounter, placing them squarely in the conversation for a return to the league positions. Their most recent performance produced a convincing 2-0 victory over Deportes Puerto Montt, a result that reinforced their claim as a team on the rise and a legitimate challenger to disrupt the established order in the standings.
Historically, the most recent meeting between these clubs ended in a goalless draw on November 13 at Carlos Dittborn, leaving both teams with a sense of missed opportunities and a reminder that even meetings with low-scoring outcomes can carry weight in the broader race for promotion.

As the league slate nears its midpoint and the season moves toward a hiatus, both sides understand the stakes. The Unionists know they must convert effort into points to climb away from the relegation zone, while Bravos del Morro eye a climb up the table that could propel them into the upper echelon of the Promotion Championship. The upcoming clash will test tactical discipline, depth, and the ability to capitalize on scoring chances, a balance that could determine which team gains the advantage in the final stretch of the campaign.
