Magallanes form and stats

Magallanes have collected 14 points from their Primera B home games so far after 4-2-4.

Magallanes manager N. Núñez Rojas and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Rangers (placed 8th) in the Primera B.

Ahead of that match, Magallanes won a home game hosting Puerto Montt (3-0).

This is expected to be a close game, with Magallanes perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Magallanes as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Magallanes has won seven of these, drawn four and lost five.

Magallanes has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. 12 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
