San Marcos form and stats

San Marcos have played 8 Primera B games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-4 (wins-draws-losses).

San Marcos faced defeat in their previous match, away at Cobreloa (0-1).

Ahead of that match, Marcos won a home game hosting Fernández Vial (2-1).

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 San Marcos have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won five, drawn two and lost five.

The Marcos fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Marcos have conceded 10 goals.

Deportes Iquique form and stats

The visitors, who have the most conceded goals (28) in Primera B, are W3-D1-L5 on the road this term. That's in the Primera B.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Primera B home defeat versus Fernández Vial with 1-3 on the scoreboard.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Coquimbo Unido wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Deportes playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were one Deportes Iquique win, two draws and four defeats.

A new game in only four days for Deportes Iquique, the Primera B home match versus Barnechea. Busy days.

Deportes have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 11 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Deportes struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 14 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Deportes Iquique - San Marcos 1-2 was the scoreline in these crews' latest head to head match, earlier this season. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): San Marcos four wins, one draw and Deportes Iquique five victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.
