Unison Espanyol
(Primera Division)
In a year when things did not go well they finished in 11th place. Essentially, in the last games they had thrown in a white towel as the only game they are interested in is clearly this final. In their last game they were defeated again (4th consecutive defeat) 2-1 away from Union La Calera and with this defeat they also lost 10th place. Now they know that in order not to be left out of international cups they must win this cup. They go to the 5th final in their history having already won two (2) (1992,1993).
Magayanes
(Primera B)
In the last matchday they wanted the same or better result from Combreloa to be crowned champions and move up in an emphatic way to the Primera Division. They managed comfortably as they beat Recoleta away from home with 0-2. They may have struggled a bit in the 1st part, but with the score 0-1, everything became easier. Fairly in 1st place, with only four (4) defeats all season, three (3) of them away from home. Now they want to achieve the icing on the cake with a double and an exit to the international cups. Last time they were in the final and only time in 2011.
Union Espanyola last reached the final in 1988. They have been targeting this trophy for good for the last 1,5 months and it is showing in action. Magagayanes will be playing for the 1st cup in its history in the institution, but already the year is considered a success. As many times as the two (2) teams have met in the cup since 2012, Union has not lost (4-2-0). I'll typically go with the home team winning the trophy one way or another. Conquest of Union Epsniola.
