With two dates to play, there are only four teams that have mathematical options to descend on the 2020 table. Audax Italiano (37 points), Colo Colo (37), Iquique (34) and Coquimbo Unido (31).
For now, Coquimbo Unido would be descending by occupying the last place (18th) in the 2020 ranking. In fact, with a loss to Everton this Thursday, the pirates would say goodbye to the top flight after two seasons.
The definition of the descent in the weighted table
Of course, the descent is much more complex, since there is the factor of the weighted table. There are six complicated teams here. Everton, University of Chile, La Serena, Curicó Unido, University of Concepción and Iquique they have options of relegation or, at least, play the game for permanence. In total, between the two tables, there are nine teams with a chance of falling to First B.
In the weighted, Iquique only has chances of being saved in the match by permanence, although it depends on his position in the 2020 table. If he finishes penultimate in both tables, he descends directly.
In the current situation, the Celestial Dragons would be going down the weighted, while the University of Concepción would be playing the game for permanence against the 16th of the 2020 table, which is Colo Colo.
