It's early days in the Primera Division and both La Serena and Unión Española are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
- La Serena have the most clean sheets (3) in Primera Division
La Serena and Unión Española should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
La Serena form and stats
Only two Primera Division home games for La Serena so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
Serena haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 193 minutes ago. S. Leyton scored that one. Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Zacarias Orlando Lopez Gonzalez not having conceded a league goal in 288 minutes.
La Serena manager M. Ponce Torres and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus O'Higgins (placed 5th) in the Primera Division. Before that, Serena drew at home versus Universidad Chile.
La Serena has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Unión Española form and stats
It's not happening yet for Unión Española on their Primera Division travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's a growing despair in Española as they have recorded three consecutive losses. Española seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Unión Española lost away at Universidad Chile (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Melipilla.
1 goal so far away for Unión Española, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Serena four wins, two draws and Unión Española four victories. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
