Newswire From a news agency Context piece
  • Eighth-placed Deportes Concepción have 30 points and would move ahead of Ñublense into the Copa Sudamericana cutoff with a win.
  • Audax Italiano, 13th with 22 points, have gone four matches without a victory and sit one point above relegation-zone Cobresal.
  • The match will take place Friday at Ester Roa Stadium, with Piero Maza as referee and Gastón Philippe overseeing VAR.

Deportes Concepción have a chance to push into Chile’s Copa Sudamericana places when they host Audax Italiano at Ester Roa Stadium on Friday.

The match begins at 8:30 p.m. local time, opening the 22nd round of the Primera League. Deportes Concepción sit eighth with 30 points, and a victory would move them ahead of Ñublense into sixth place, the current cutoff for Copa Sudamericana qualification.

The team coached by Fernando Díaz enters the second half of the season in positive form and will try to keep that run going before next week’s visit to Colo Colo at the Monumental Stadium.

Audax Italiano arrive under greater pressure. They have gone four consecutive matches without winning and occupy 13th place with 22 points. The team needs a return to winning ways to create breathing room near the bottom of the table, where its lead over Cobresal is only one point.

Piero Maza will referee the match, while Gastón Philippe will handle VAR.
