First leg of the Copa Chile round of 16 at Iquique's ground, where the hosts have not conceded a first-half goal in eight home matches.

Antofagasta look the likelier side to come away with something, and three quoted prices offer a small advantage: no goals in the first half at 2.9, the draw or an Antofagasta win at 1.48, and over 2.5 goals at 1.88. Antofagasta to win at 2.5 offers no clear advantage, and both teams to score at 1.7 asks for too much.

Context

This is the opening leg of the Copa Chile round of 16, with the club's own schedule listing Wednesday's 20:30 kick-off at the Estadio Tierra de Campeones and the return on 27 September in Antofagasta. Because the series is decided across both games rather than on the night, the first leg fixes the aggregate position each side carries into the second match. Neither club has published a starting line-up or confirmed squad list for the opening game, so how each coach divides the tie across the two legs is still open.
- Deportes Iquique's official schedule lists the octavos de final first leg at the Estadio Tierra de Campeones on 23 September and the return on 27 September in Antofagasta.
- The club's ticket announcement describes the fixture as the ida (first leg) of the Copa Chile octavos de final, kicking off at 20:30 local time.
- TNT Sports Chile published its full broadcast schedule for the Copa Chile round of 16.

Antofagasta's build-up to the first leg has centred on recovering physically from the clásico against Cobreloa and on rehearsing set plays, with the coaching staff noting how strong Iquique are at the Tierra de Campeones. The stated aim is to return north with the tie still reachable before the second leg at the Calvo y Bascuñán, which shapes how much the visitors commit away from home. The report is a regional preview rather than a club statement, names no players and gives no confirmed line-up, so the tactical emphasis should be read as intent.
- Regional preview reported that Antofagasta trained in double sessions, focused on physical recovery after the clásico against Cobreloa and on set-piece work.
- The same report says the coaching staff prepared with Iquique's strength at home in mind and aimed to bring a usable result back to the Calvo y Bascuñán.

The availability note is competition-specific: suspensions carried in the Ascenso do not apply to the Copa Chile, so players who missed league matches can be used in this tie. For a first leg Antofagasta have said they want to keep alive ahead of the home return, that widens the coach's options. The claim is an expectation in a regional preview and names no players, so the matchday list remains unconfirmed.
- Regional preview states Antofagasta expect to have an almost complete squad available for the first leg.
- The same report notes that players suspended in the Ascenso tournament are available for Copa Chile.

Antofagasta are the side with the better results over the window, and the away portion of that record is what travels to Iquique.
Seven away matches is a small sample, but four wins on the road is the clearest part of Antofagasta's position, and the three clean sheets in that split show they are not reliant on outscoring opponents. Iquique's home returns are steady rather than dominant, which leaves room for a visiting side that has travelled well. A first leg can still be played cautiously, so the away record sets the tone rather than settling the tie.
- Antofagasta away split, 28 June to 15 September 2026: 4W 1D 2L from 7 competitive matches, with 3 clean sheets.
- Both teams scored in 4 of those 7 away matches.
- Antofagasta's away first-half goals against average in the same split: 0.43 per match.
