Another interesting game in the Primera B. Deportes Santa Cruz is in the 3rd position after playing eleven matches. They welcome Fernández Vial who are placed 15th after two games.
It's no vacation for neither Deportes nor Fernández Vial as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Deportes Santa Cruz form and stats
3-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera B numbers at home for Deportes Santa Cruz so far this season. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Deportes after consecutive victories at their own ground.
A nice win for Deportes Santa Cruz last time playing, versus Magallanes. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with E. Flores and D. Pezoa scoring for the victors.
In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Rangers.This is expected to be a close game, with Deportes 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 nine games. Deportes Santa Cruz has won three of these, drawn one and lost five.
Deportes Santa Cruz have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estadio Municipal de Santa Cruz with 9 goals in 6 league matches. Deportes are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (12 from 6 played).
Fernández Vial form and stats
As the visiting team in Primera B matches, Fernández Vial have produced an overall stat of 0-0-1 so far.
Fernández Vial had fun at their own home (Estadio Municipal de Santa Cruz) last time out, beating Deportes Temuco 1-0.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Magallanes wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fernández playing away and similar expectations, we found one relevant match. Results were zero Fernández Vial wins, zero draws and one defeat.
It's early days yet, but Fernández Vial has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
