Audax Italiano are welcoming Deportes Iquique for another important game after their 0-0 result against 7th-placed O'Higgins.

Insights:
  • Audax Italiano has the most conceded goals in the first half (26) in Primera Division
  • Deportes Iquique have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Deportes Iquique play their home games on grass, while this game is played on artifical turf. Recent stats for Deportes Iquique when playing on artifical turf are 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from three matches. They have scored 2 goals and conceded 6 times in these games.

These teams have little in common geographically as Deportes Iquique have to travel 1700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Relegation threatens Italiano who should definitely be looking for some points here. Deportes are struggling to avoid relegation.

Audax Italiano form and stats

Audax Italiano have played 16 Primera Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-5-4 (wins-draws-losses).

Audax Italiano drew their last game, 0-0 away at O'Higgins (placed 7th). Before that game, the home loss against Union La Calera with the scoreline 1-3.

A painful moment in the game against O'Higgins was the missed penalty kick from R. Holgado in the 90th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

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 Italiano have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn two and lost three.

There will be little rest for Audax Italiano after this match as they are travelling to La Serena for a Primera Division game in only two days.

A decent goal production from Italiano in their home games so far, with 26 goals from 16 league matches. Audax Italiano have conceded 19 in these home matches.
