Cobreloa form and stats

Cobreloa have been very solid at home in the Primera B so far, with 19 points collected from 7 matches (6-1-0). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the table. Cobreloa has recorded two wins in a row here at Estadio Zorros del Desierto, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

The Cobreloa goalkeeper Matias Nicolas Cano is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 326 minutes without conceding a goal in the Primera B.

Cobreloa's last game was hosting Deportes Santa Cruz (placed 14th) and winning 1-0. It's funny, but the exact score 1-0 has occurred three league matches in a row.

Before that match, a win away at Santiago Morning.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Cobreloa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 11 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 3 and lost 4.

A decent goal production from Cobreloa in their home games so far, with 13 goals from 7 league matches. Cobreloa are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Zorros del Desierto in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 7 matches.

Copiapó form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera B travels is 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Two travels in a row for Copiapó, whose coach Almandoz could celebrate last time after the win against Deportes Temuco. As you can tell from the results above, Copiapó was very dominant against Deportes Temuco, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Romo, Díaz, Pontigo and Luna providing the goals.

A 0-1 loss hosting Union San Felipe before that.

We have checked recent matches where Copiapó have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 10 games were 3 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats.

Copiapó have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 9 goals have been scored. Copiapó have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings involving these participants: Cobreloa won five, Copiapó triumphed in one and we saw four draws. five games with more than 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
