Huachipato form and stats

Huachipato have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Primera Division, after 2-3-5 (10 played). With the Huachipato losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

The manager Saieg was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Estadio CAP. Huachipato suffered a 3-4 loss to Unión La Calera (placed 13th). A bonkers fixture with heaps of goals last time out for Huachipato, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that match, will this fixture be as enjoying?

The game before that, was lost at home, a 2-5 defeat against Union Espanola.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Huachipato playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were 3 Huachipato wins, 3 draws and 10 defeats.

Observe that 8 of this team's 10 most recent league rounds have ended with three goals or more.
