After league round 1 it's Rangers - Melipilla 3-0 in points. Who will prevail in this second Primera B fixture of the season?
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Rangers form and stats
Last season, Rangers's league stats were 9 wins, 8 draws and 13 losses, resulting in 11th position in the Primera B. During these 30 matches they scored 34 goals and conceded 42. Performing as the host team in the previous season Rangers managed 6-3-6 (win-draw-lost) with 17 goals and 14 conceded.
It's back home for Rangers, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Fernández Vial away with the result 1-0. Melivilú found the net in that victory.
Prior to that, an away loss at Cobreloa.This is expected to be a close game, with Rangers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Rangers as a small favourite), we find 15 games. Rangers has won seven of these, drawn four and lost four.
Melipilla form and stats
Let's have a look at how Melipilla performed last season in the Primera Division: They landed a 14th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 8 draws and 14 defeats. In total they scored 39 and conceded 51 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 1 and lost 10 with 16/30 goals scored/conceded. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Melipilla are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Melipilla might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Univ. Concepcion proved too strong as Melipilla slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Municipal Roberto Bravo Santibáñez.
Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Huachipato's place.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 16 similar matches played by Melipilla in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Melipilla, four draws and seven defeats.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Rangers four wins, two draws and Melipilla four victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), nine games had two or less.Rangers missing players
