Deportes Iquique have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Rangers form and stats

Rangers, who have the most conceded goals (23) at home in Primera B, have collected 16 points from their Primera B home games so far after 5-1-7.

No payout for Rangers in their previous match, an away game at Deportes Santa Cruz that ended in defeat 1-2.

Ahead of that match, Rangers won a home game hosting Barnechea (3-2).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Rangers have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 20 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 4 and lost 9.

The Rangers fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 20 goals in 13 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Rangers defense is not exactly impregnable. 23 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Deportes Iquique form and stats

Deportes Iquique have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Primera B, after 0-3-9 (12 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Deportes have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Deportes Iquique's last game was the home draw against Copiapó (0-0).

A 1-2 defeat away at Cobreloa before that.

Deportes Iquique are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 5 draws and 11 defeats. From a total of 17 matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Deportes as they have only managed to score 7 times from 12 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Deportes Iquique have conceded 21 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Rangers have avoided defeat in the last 7 matches (6-1-0) against Deportes Iquique.
