Universidad Católica will have this Saturday a new opportunity to escape in the first place of the National Championship, in a demanding away match against O’Higgins in El Teniente.
The “Crusaders” come to this game with two wins in the last 10 dates. From this bad streak, they only reaped one defeat, but it was in the most recent match, against Palestino, in San Carlos de Apoquindo (2-3), setting off the alarms even more, for a team that does not want to lose the possibility of a historic three-time championship.
However, the defeat of Unión La Calera against Deportes Iquique of this Thursday, he returned the soul to the body, since if the UC defeats the Rancagüinos, they will get six points from the “cementeros”, who have only four games ahead.
