Antofagasta form and stats

Antofagasta have played 7 Primera Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-0-3 (wins-draws-losses).

The Antofagasta crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Audax Italiano here at Estadio Regional Calvo y Bascuñán in a Primera Division match.

Preceding that game was the away draw at La Serena that finished 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Antofagasta have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won six times, drawn three and lost three.

Antofagasta are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. On the other hand, Antofagasta have conceded 8 goals.
