In the last three matches against Antofagasta, Union La Calera are unbeaten. Going into this game they have one win in the last eight league matches, spanning last season. Though they go to this clash unbeaten in the last three league matches, with three clean sheets in the last five, they haven't won in the last three away league games.
Union La Calera are unbeaten in five matches going into this game but three of them have ended in draws. Antofagasta are winless in their last three home matches and will be hoping to rise from that as they face a side without a win in three straight away matches. With these numbers, a draw seems possible here.
