Primera Division: Top level against subpar, at least according to the table. Audax Italiano - Huachipato. Home win as expected or a surprise result?

Insights:
  • Audax Italiano have the fewest conceded goals (5) in Primera Division
  • Huachipato have yet to win a game away.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Primera Division game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Palestino. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

1 - 0 - 1 with 1-2. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for Huachipato when playing on artifical turf like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. Huachipato play their home games on grass so that's why we provide these numbers.

Audax Italiano form and stats

4-1-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera Division numbers at home for Audax Italiano, who have the fewest conceded goals (5) in Primera Division, so far this season.

A nice win for Italiano last time playing, versus Magallanes. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with M. Fuentes, R. Holgado and J. Montecinos scoring for the victors.

Prior to that, an away loss at Magallanes.

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.

The Italiano fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Defensively Italiano have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 5 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Huachipato form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera Division travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Huachipato seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Huachipato aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 418 league minutes without a goal. C. Huanca was the last player to find the net.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Huachipato, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Palestino (placed 14th).

Before that, Huachipato secured a home win against Deportes Temuco with the score 2-0.

Huachipato are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, six draws and ten defeats. From a total of 18 matches.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Huachipato's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 6 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Audax Italiano three wins, zero draws and Huachipato seven victories. As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.
