An important duel in the bottom section of the Primera B, with both Deportes Santa Cruz and Santiago Morning experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 14th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Deportes Santa Cruz form and stats
Deportes Santa Cruz are yet to produce one single Primera B point here at Estadio Fiscal de Talca, to the disappointment of their supporters. All 4 matches have been lost. It's been an uphill battle for Deportes Santa Cruz in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the Rangers game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
Stress levels are on the rise for Deportes's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. D. Huerta was their last goal scorer.
An away draw last time out for Deportes, facing San Luis in a game that ended 0-0. Ahead of that match, Deportes lost 0-2 at home to Deportes Temuco.
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 five matches with the results: Won one, drawn one and lost three.
The manager O. Hurtado Galleguillos will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Barnechea in only three days.
Deportes have scored 2 goals here in 4 league matches, a depressing statistic. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Deportes with 9 goals conceded in these matches.
Santiago Morning form and stats
Santiago Morning, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) away in Primera B, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera B, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
There were no winners in Santiago's previous match, a Primera B home game that ended 1-1 vs Deportes Valdivia (placed 8th). A loss against San Marcos was the result prior to that, in a home game.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Santiago Morning playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were three Santiago Morning wins, one draw and three defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Santiago are hosting Unión San Felipe in the Primera B only three days away.
Santiago are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 4 away goals from 3 games (in the league). 3 goals have been conceded by Santiago in these games.
Head 2 Head
