vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Antofagasta go into the round of 16 of the Copa Chile without a table to reference, since this is a knockout stage. Their last five outings: an away defeat 1-2 to San Luis, before that a 0-0 home draw with Cobreloa, further back another home defeat 1-2 to Recoleta, further back still a 4-0 away win at Deportes Copiapo and, at the start of the run, a 3-1 home win over Deportes Temuco. Deportes Iquique come into this off a 2-1 away win at Rangers de Talca, preceded by two straight defeats, 0-1 at home to Deportes Santa Cruz and, before that, 0-1 away to Santiago Wanderers; further back another home defeat 0-1 to San Luis and, at the start of the run, a 4-0 away win at D. Puerto Montt. Among the head to head meetings, the 1-1 draw on 17 August 2026, played at Deportes Iquique, stands out; in the March 2026 meeting Antofagasta won 4-0 at home, while in 2025 Antofagasta won both direct meetings, 3-1 at home and 4-2 away. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
