Univ. Concepción form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Primera B this season. Univ. Concepción have only managed 0 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Estadio Municipal Alcaldesa Ester Roa Rebolledo.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Univ. Concepción, who played 2-2 against Deportes Iquique. That match was also played at this venue (Estadio Municipal Alcaldesa Ester Roa Rebolledo). A disappointing finish for Univ. Concepción in their match versus Deportes Iquique as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

1-1 away at Barnechea before that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Univ. Concepción perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Univ. Concepción as a small favourite), we find 18 games. Univ. Concepción has won six of these, drawn six and lost six.

Concepción have conceded 10 from these games.

Rangers form and stats

Rangers's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Rangers collect 13 points from their 6 away matches in the Primera B. 4 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat).

Home advantage was not enough for Rangers in their previous game as they lost hosting Copiapó, 0-1.

Preceding that, the 2-3 home loss versus Santiago Morning.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Rangers playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were four Rangers wins, six draws and seven defeats.

Rangers are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. It's not easy to score on Rangers as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
