El Velero will seek a first win of the season as the Albiazules arrive shaken after a tough loss to Antofagasta. This seventh date of the 2023 Promotion Championship brings a decisive clash that could reshuffle the standings in the City region as both teams aim to turn the page on recent results.
The Velero, coached by Felipe Núñez, enters the match needing a victory to reassert themselves after a stretch of three straight games without reaching three points. The latest setback came in a 3-0 defeat against Deportes Antofagasta, a result that left the Albiazules anchored at the bottom of the table, six points adrift of safety and confidence at a premium heading into this round.
Meanwhile, the Santa Cruz-based academy continues its bid to climb off the lower rungs. The students of Erwin Durán are looking to secure their first victory of the season after a 2-1 loss to Santa Cruz at the Bicentenario Chinquihue, which left them in the second-to-last position with just three points. The objective is clear: register a win, gain momentum, and start a more competitive ascent toward the upper-middle of the table.
In the most recent head-to-head, Velero took three points on the road as they defeated the Albiazules with a 3-0 scoreline. The match featured a brace from Fabián Cortés and a goal from Juan Méndez, a performance that underscored Velero’s attacking intent while also exposing defensive vulnerabilities on the Albiazules side. The home side was forced to finish with ten men after Matias Olguin was sent off, a moment that punctuated the match and reflected the tension surrounding this fixture.
