The visiting Magallanes side should be favourites in this visit to Deportes Santa Cruz, as the away team holds a 3 point advantage from their eleven league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither Deportes Santa Cruz nor Magallanes 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
Deportes Santa Cruz, who have the fewest points (3) at home in Primera B, have collected 3 points from their Primera B home games so far after 1-0-4.
It's back home for Deportes, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Barnechea away with the result 3-2. P. Muñoz, D. Huerta and D. Salazar found the net in that victory. Before that, Deportes had a home game versus Santiago Morning which ended with a victory 2-1.
Manager O. Hurtado Galleguillos felt very clever after D. Huerta scored the winning goal against Barnechea, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 70th minute. A late climax in the match against Barnechea as the winning goal came two minutes into overtime; scored by D. Huerta.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Deportes have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost three.
