Insights:

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

O'Higgins have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Cobresal form and stats

7 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Cobresal have to build on here at Estadio El Cobre in the Primera Division. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Cobresal, their manager G. Huerta Araya and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

A strong away win for Cobresal against Unión La Calera the last match, as S. Varas and B. Hurtado were on target.

Ahead of that match, Cobresal lost 1-3 at home to Universidad Catolica.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Cobresal matches with similar probabilities have ended with six wins, one draw and one defeat (from eight games).

O'Higgins form and stats

There's been little loot from O'Higgins's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 13 away games in the Primera Division. O'Higgins only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 4 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.

Home advantage was not enough for O'Higgins in their previous game, as they lost their Primera Division-match, hosting Melipilla, 1-2.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Palestino that ended 2-2.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and O'Higgins playing away, we found seven games. Results were two away wins, two draws and three home wins.

The attacking power of O'Higgins when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 13 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as O'Higgins have conceded 20 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
