Welcome to the show! Today's leading characters are Colo-Colo and Audax Italiano, 3 points are the objective and 90 minutes the length of this spectacle.

Insights:
  • Colo-Colo have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded at home.
  • Audax Italiano have the most matches under the total-line (8) in Primera Division

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

This pitch has grass, which is not Audax Italiano's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Audax Italiano have performed like this: Played 50 matches resulting in 14 wins, 12 draws and 24 defeats with the goal stats 53-74 (scored/conceded).

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

Colo-Colo form and stats

Colo-Colo have collected 7 points from their Primera Division home games so far after 2-1-2.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Colo-Colo, as their goalkeeper Brayan Josue Cortes Fernandez has completely shut out the opponents for 293 minutes in the Primera Division.

Colo-Colo drew their last game, 0-0 away at Universidad Catolica (placed 3rd).

In the match before that, Colo-Colo hosted Palestino and drew the Chilean Cup game 1-1.

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

The manager W. Lemma will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Santiago Wanderers in only three days.

Colo-Colo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. Colo-Colo have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Audax Italiano form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera Division travels is 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat.

There were no winners in Italiano's previous match, a Primera Division home game that ended 3-3 vs Huachipato (placed 15th). Drawing 3-3 against Huachipato after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager P. Sánchez needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Italiano, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Prior to that match, a home win 3-0 against Magallanes in the Chilean Cup.

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 Audax Italiano playing away, we found six games. Results were three away wins, one draw and two home wins.

A quick return to home after this game, as Italiano are hosting Everton in the Primera Division only three days away.

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 5 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).

Head 2 Head

Colo-Colo-Audax Italiano H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Colo-Colo six wins, Audax Italiano three wins, one draw. seven of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
