La Serena form and stats

The complete Primera Division statistics playing at home this season for La Serena, who have the most conceded goals (20) in Primera Division, are 0-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). Game days at Estadio La Portada de La Serena have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for La Serena as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

The Serena followers got no joy from their last match, also played here at Estadio La Portada de La Serena: A 1-2 defeat against Union Espanola (placed 2nd). Heartbreak for La Serena in their last match as Union Espanola's Piñeiro scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Before that match, a win away at Universidad Catolica.

The Serena fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. When La Serena hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Coquimbo Unido, Audax Italiano, Universidad Chile, Antofagasta and Union La Calera), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.
