Coquimbo Unido's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-3 versus Nublense (placed 8th). Holgado has scored in three games in a row. Badass!

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against O'Higgins.

This is expected to be a close game, with Coquimbo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Coquimbo Unido as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Coquimbo Unido has won 7 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.

A fact related to the "Both teams to score yes/no" betting option: A review of the 10 most recent league games shows that 8 of them had at least one goal from each side.

The Coquimbo Unido fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 12 matches. 17 goals have been conceded.

Unión Española form and stats

There's been little loot from Unión Española's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 12 away games in the Primera Division. Unión Española only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws. A depressing four defeats in a row for Española in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Nublense.

Unión Española's last game was the home draw against Curico Unido (2-2). It looked so good for Unión Española vs Curico Unido, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

Prior to that match, the Española manager Núñez faced defeat when travelling to Palestino and losing 1-2.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 9 similar matches played by Unión Española in our archives, and the results are: 6 wins for Unión Española, 0 draws and 3 defeats.
