Venue: Estadio El Cobre (18000 seats)

Cobresal are ready for a new test after their 0-1 versus O'Higgins in the previous game. Palestino are coming to play!

Insights:
  • Cobresal have won significantly more corners at home than away.
  • Cobresal have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Palestino have scored away.

Cobresal are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions.

These teams have little in common geographically as Palestino have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

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.

Palestino form and stats

Palestino have only collected 13 points from their away games in the Primera Division, after 2-7-4 (13 played). Palestino seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Palestino had fun at their own home (Estadio El Cobre) last time out, beating La Serena 5-0. Salas, Santos (2) and Barticciotto (2) scored. Those three points felt good as this team had gone three league games without victory. As you can tell from the results above, Palestino was very dominant against La Serena, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Salas, Santos (2) and Barticciotto (2) providing the goals.

The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-4 defeat against Everton.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Palestino have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
