La Serena form and stats

La Serena's struggle is real here at Estadio La Portada de La Serena with only 6 points collected from 8 Primera Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-4.

The La Serena regulars got no joy from their last fixture, a Chilean Cup duel also played here at Estadio La Portada de La Serena: A 1-2 defeat against Univ. Concepcion. Finally, a league victory after five games without.

This is expected to be a close game, with La Serena perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Serena as a small favourite), we find 12 games. La Serena has won 6 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.

The La Serena fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 8 matches. La Serena have conceded 15 from these games.
