Deportes La Serena arrive at Sunday's meeting with Ñublense in one of their strongest spells of the season, while their opponents need to halt a damaging slide.
The match at La Portada begins at 12:30 p.m. local time, or 3:30 p.m. GMT, in the 22nd round of Chile's Primera League. La Serena, known as the Granate, sit 10th with 27 points after a valuable 1-0 victory over Unión La Calera. The result extended their unbeaten run to four matches.
Ñublense face a very different situation. Juan José Ribera's side have lost consecutive games against Deportes Concepción and Limache. Those defeats dropped them from the podium to sixth place with 32 points and put their hopes of qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana under pressure.
The teams drew 2-2 in the first half of the season. Héctor Jona will referee Sunday's match.
