Antofagasta vs Universidad de Chile
15:00 ET

The position table is very tight in this final stretch of the first round of the National Championship, and an important move could occur this Thursday when Universidad de Chile, fourth in the tournament, visits Deportes Antofagasta, fifth in the standings.

The 15th date will close this Thursday and will have blues and pumas facing each other at the Calvo and Bascuñán Stadium in Antofagasta, which will be a six-point duel with the aim of getting into the first places and being a candidate to dispute the top to the University Catholic

The university cast is in high spirits after beating Deportes La Serena, and where Hernán Caputto has made a series of changes in the starting line-up, leaving names like Ángelo Henríquez out of the citation. If they win in the north, they would get back into the fight for the title, although a fall could complicate them in the face of that projection.

And it is that with direct rivals the U could not prevail, falling with the crusaders and the Spanish Union, so his visit to the CDA is a test of strength for Caputto and company. Those led by Héctor Almandoz are also played a lot, especially approaching the first places and ensuring respect for the locality; all this while waiting for what is decided with the pending meeting they have with Colo Colo.
