O'Higgins form and stats

O'Higgins's struggle is real here at Estadio El Teniente with only 7 points collected from 10 Primera Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-5. O'Higgins are slowly digging their own grave here at Estadio El Teniente with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts.

The fans are hoping that O'Higgins will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away defeat in the Chilean Cup fixture against Magallanes.

Before that match, a home win hosting Magallanes in the Chilean Cup. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how O'Higgins have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 6 and lost 5.

Low-scoring affair? Looking at this team's last 12 league games, 9 have seen two goals or less.

O'Higgins are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 10 games. O'Higgins have conceded 14 in these home matches.
