Key Players

Betting Insights
- Backing Palestino Santiago to get the three points makes the most sense for the main bet, although I expect a high-scoring game.
- BTTS No selection will be taken in the correct score market as La Serena have struggled to score away from home and the odds are slightly against them at 1.86.
Prediction
This fixture will be a good test of how these two teams are shaping up tactically this season, as Palestino Santiago are looking to establish a new identity under Farre, and La Serena are focusing on the process of being a solid and organised team.
