Curicó Unido form and stats

The hosts won their first Primera Division game here at Estadio Bicentenario La Granja, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Curicó Unido last season were 4 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses from 16 games.

The fans are hoping that Curicó Unido will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Universidad Catolica (placed 1st).

In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting Cobresal.

This is expected to be a close game, with Curicó Unido perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Curicó Unido at home in the league. 4 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
