Insights:

  • La Serena have the most conceded goals (13) in Primera Division

These teams have little in common geographically as La Serena have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both teams have had plenty of rest since their previous exertion in an official match. Let's agree to expect an active fixture!

Huachipato form and stats

As mentioned below, Huachipato are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Primera Division games. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Huachipato, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.

Mazzantti was the last player to score a league goal for Huachipato and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Huachipato haven't scored in 190 minutes.

The supporters are hoping that Huachipato will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Union La Calera (placed 12th).

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Union Espanola (0-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Huachipato have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won four times, drawn seven and lost two.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Huachipato at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
