Season ticket holders at Estadio Bicentenario Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Coquimbo Unido languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Curicó Unido will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Overall Primera Division stats at home this season for Coquimbo Unido, who have the fewest scored goals (23) in Primera Division, are 4-3-6 (wins-draw-losses). With Coquimbo Unido having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager J. Ribera.

The fans are hoping that Coquimbo will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-4 away loss in the Copa Sudamericana game against Defensa y Justicia. Before that, Coquimbo drew at home versus Defensa y Justicia.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

The manager J. Ribera will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Colo-Colo in only three days.
