Huachipato form and stats

As the visiting team in Primera Division matches, Huachipato, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) away in Primera Division, have produced an overall stat of 2-4-3 so far.

Huachipato has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Nublense for a Primera Division game that ended a draw (2-2). Drawing 2-2 against Nublense after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager J. Luvera needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Universidad Chile.
