Curicó Unido form and stats

2-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera Division numbers at home for Curicó Unido so far this season. When Curicó Unido hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Curicó Unido, Audax Italiano, Magallanes, Copiapo and O'Higgins), they have won 1 of 2 matches! Game days at Estadio Bicentenario La Granja have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Curicó as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

The fans hope that Curicó Unido will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away defeat in the Chilean Cup fixture against Deportes Rengo.

In the game before, an away victory in the Primera Division match versus Nublense with a 2-1 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Curicó Unido perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Curicó as a small favourite), we find 16 games. Curicó Unido has won 6 of these, drawn 7 and lost 3.

Both teams score at least one goal! That has been the case in 8 league matches in a row for this side. Could it happen again?

The Curicó Unido fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
