The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Cobresal are in the 11th position while the guesting La Serena worry at 18th.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Cobresal form and stats
4 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Cobresal have to build on here at Estadio El Cobre in the Primera Division.
No payout for Cobresal in their previous match, an away game at Universidad Católica that ended in defeat 1-2. Before that, Cobresal had a home game versus Santiago Wanderers which ended with a victory 1-0.
Cobresal are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. From these home matches, Cobresal have conceded only 6 goals.
La Serena form and stats
There's been little loot from La Serena's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 9 away games in the Primera Division. La Serena, who have the fewest scored goals (15) in Primera Division, only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.
W. Ponce scored in La Serena's previous match, the home game against Huachipato that ended 1-0. Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Universidad Católica's place.
W. Ponce came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Huachipato last time out, making the manager F. Bozán Santibáñez feel like a tactical genius.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Primera Division trip to Palestino.
