La Serena form and stats
With 2 Primera Division wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats from their home games, La Serena, who have the the worst goal difference (-13) in Primera Division, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 196 minutes without scoring a league goal. H. Suazo was the last player to find the net.
The fans are hoping that Serena will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Primera Division game against Universidad Catolica (placed 1st). Heartbreak before that as La Serena lost 0-2 at Deportes Iquique's place.
The penalty miss from R. Paredes in the defeat against Universidad Catolica was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
