Curicó Unido, who have the most conceded goals (43) in Primera Division, have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Primera Division, after 2-4-7 (13 played). Bitter travels for Curicó Unido as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Colo-Colo match. With the Curicó Unido losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Curicó Unido find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 13 goals from 13 away fixtures in the league. Curicó Unido have conceded 22 goals in these games.
