Deportes Santa Cruz form and stats

5-5-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera B numbers at home for Deportes Santa Cruz so far this season.

Deportes are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Barnechea. The first loss after collecting points through five league matches.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Cobreloa that ended 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Deportes Santa Cruz perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Deportes Santa Cruz as a small favourite), we find 17 games. Deportes Santa Cruz has won 6 of these, drawn 5 and lost 6.

A fact related to the "Both teams to score yes/no" betting option: A review of the 10 latest league games highlights that 8 of them had at least one goal scored by each team.

The Deportes fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 11 matches. From these home matches, Deportes Santa Cruz have conceded only 7 goals.

Deportes Iquique form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Deportes Iquique so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-7 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Deportes as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Univ. Concepcion match.

Impressive finishing from González and Salinas (2) secured the home win 3-1 against Santiago Morning in their previous game. That victory felt good as this club had gone three league games without winning.

A 0-1 defeat away at Magallanes before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Deportes Iquique playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were 1 Deportes Iquique win, 6 draws and 8 defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Deportes as they have only managed to score 6 times from 10 away games in the league. Deportes Iquique's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 18 goals from these trips.
