This could be an interesting match as Curicó Unido have their presumed home advantage while Antofagasta are ahead 3 points in the Primera Division table.

Insights:
  • Curicó Unido haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Antofagasta have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Curicó Unido form and stats

Curicó Unido are steadily winning Primera Division games and points here at Estadio Bicentenario La Granja. 8 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats is the summary from 12 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Curicó Unido with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Audax Italiano game, 35 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Curicó lost their last game at Palestino (placed 6th) after a 2-4 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Huachipato.

A goal frenzy last time out for Curicó, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Palestino. Fun stuff to watch!

There will be little rest for Curicó after this match as they are travelling to Universidad Catolica for a Primera Division game in only three days.

The Curicó fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 12 matches. Curicó have conceded 12 in these home matches.

Antofagasta form and stats

4-4-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Antofagasta in their Primera Division matches away.

The manager H. Almandoz was unhappy after their last game, a Primera Division match played at their home ground Estadio Regional Calvo y Bascuñán. Antofagasta suffered a 0-1 loss to Colo-Colo (placed 18th). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Union Espanola that ended 1-1.

A new game in only four days for Antofagasta, the Primera Division home match versus La Serena. Busy days.

Antofagasta have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 14 goals have been scored. 16 goals have been conceded by Antofagasta in these games.
