Deportes Iquique form and stats

Deportes Iquique have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Primera Division were 3 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats from 13 fixtures.

Deportes Iquique delivered a 2-2 draw playing at home against Everton (placed 3rd) in their previous match; a Primera Division game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Union Espanola wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

Drawing 2-2 against Everton after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager E. Guerrero needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

2 goals so far away for Deportes Iquique, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Curicó Unido, four draws and three wins for Deportes Iquique. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
