Venue: Estadio Bicentenario Municipal de La Florida

An important duel in the bottom section of the Primera B, with both Santiago Morning and Deportes Valdivia experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 14th and the visitors in 11th place.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

These teams have little in common geographically as Deportes Valdivia have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Santiago Morning form and stats

When playing at home in the Primera B, Santiago Morning have managed 0 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games.

Santiago Morning's previous game was a Primera B match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Deportes Valdivia (placed 11th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Preceding that match was a defeat to San Marcos (0-1).

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

Santiago are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 5 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded.

Deportes Valdivia form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera B travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Deportes lost away at Santiago Morning (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting San Luis.

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 six relevant matches. Results were two Deportes Valdivia wins, one draw and three defeats.

Deportes find the net regularly in their away games. 4 goals from 4 away fixtures in the league. Deportes struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 7 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last seven meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Santiago, zero draws and four wins for Deportes Valdivia. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
