Curicó Unido form and stats
Curicó Unido have played 16 Primera Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 9-1-6 (wins-draws-losses). Curicó has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager M. Palermo and the players. 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 Curicó crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-3 to Santiago Wanderers here at Estadio Bicentenario La Granja in a Primera Division match. Preceding that match was the home game against Unión Española that was lost 2-4.
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 Unido as a small favourite), we find eight games. Curicó Unido has won two of these, drawn two and lost four.
There will be little rest for Curicó after this match as they are travelling to Union La Calera for a Primera Division game in only three days.
