The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Curicó Unido are in the 8th position while the guesting Palestino worry at 13th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Curicó Unido form and stats
Curicó Unido, who have the fewest scored goals (13) in Primera Division, have performed here at Estadio Bicentenario La Granja this season with 5 wins from 7 Primera Division matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 0 games and lost 2.
An away draw last time out for Curicó, facing O'Higgins in a game that ended 2-2. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Union Espanola (1-2).
Curicó has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. From these home matches, Curicó have conceded only 6 goals.
Palestino form and stats
Palestino have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Primera Division, after 2-1-5 (8 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Palestino who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Deportes Iquique was the last time a defeat was avoided. Bitter travels for Palestino as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Santiago Wanderers match.
Two away games in a row for Palestino, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-4 versus La Serena in the Primera Division. Prior to that match, the Palestino manager I. Basay Hatibovic faced defeat when travelling to Union La Calera and losing 0-1.
As you can tell from the result, the match against La Serena was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Palestino's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last seven meetings: one - two - four (Curicó wins - draws - Palestino wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
