Deportes Concepción vs Huachipato: Team News and Expert Analysis

This even sent them to the Copa Libertadores, though they were eliminated by their first qualifying opponent, Carabobo. Domestically, they have improved, though without consistency and with some setbacks. In the last round, they drew with Ñublense, and even lost 0-2 to Puerto Montt in the cup.
