Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Copiapó in 8th and Deportes Santa Cruz in 7th place.
- Copiapó have yet to win a game at home.
- Deportes Santa Cruz have the most conceded goals (14) in Primera B
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Deportes Santa Cruz have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Copiapó form and stats
Three Primera B home games done for Copiapó, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches.
Copiapó travelled for their previous game, a trip to Coquimbo Unido that ended 0-0.
A strong away win before that one, visiting San Luis and winning 2-1.Copiapó are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.
Deportes Santa Cruz form and stats
Deportes Santa Cruz, who have the most conceded goals (14) in Primera B, have six points from their first three away games in the Primera B, meaning two victories and a loss. Three has not been a lucky number for Deportes as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Deportes Temuco match.
Deportes Santa Cruz might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Deportes Iquique proved too strong as Deportes Santa Cruz slumped to a 1-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Municipal de Santa Cruz.
Prior to that match, the Deportes Santa Cruz manager O. Hurtado Galleguillos faced defeat when travelling to Unión San Felipe and losing 0-1.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Deportes have scored 4 goals in 3 league games away. It's not easy to score on Deportes as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
