Melipilla form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Melipilla so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-7 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on C. Arán, the Melipilla manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Melipilla's last game was the home draw against Santiago Wanderers (1-1).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Universidad Catolica wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Melipilla have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were six victories, four draws and three defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Melipilla as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Melipilla have conceded 22 goals in these games.
