WHAT DOES THE U DE CHILE DEPEND ON?
On Sunday, the U will play everything at home against Unión La Calera, in what will be the last date of the tournament. With 36 points (DF -4), so far he is in the promotion zone and he needs to win yes or yes to escape from any possibility of relegation because, in case of a tie or loss, things would be complicated a lot (will depend on other results).
If those from Santiago equalize, they will have to wait for Curicó (36 units, DF -2) to lose and for Huachipato (34, DF -7) not to win, a combination that would directly save him from losing the category without the need to win. In the same way, defeat is the worst possible scenario: in that case, if Huachipato wins and Curicó Unido is not beaten, they will go directly to the B after 32 years. -They went down for the only time in 1989-.

Likewise, the objective of those commanded by Romero will be to win the weekend and forget about the ghosts of B.
