High flying Everton land at O'Higgins after their 3-0-result versus Antofagasta. Get out our comprehensive preview!

Insights:
  • O'Higgins have the fewest scored goals in the second half (11) in Primera Division
  • Everton have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

O'Higgins are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Everton is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

O'Higgins form and stats

7 victories, 6 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what O'Higgins have to build on here at Estadio El Teniente in the Primera Division.

O'Higgins are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Colo-Colo. Until that loss this team had gone eight consecutive league games without a defeat.

Before that, O'Higgins had a home game versus Cobresal which ended with a victory 1-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with O'Higgins perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with O'Higgins as a small favourite), we find 11 games. O'Higgins has won 2 of these, drawn 6 and lost 3.

The O'Higgins fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 14 matches. From these home matches, O'Higgins have conceded only 12 goals.

Everton form and stats

As the visiting team in Primera Division matches, Everton have produced an overall stat of 4-7-3 so far.

Everton had fun at their own home (Estadio El Teniente) last time out, beating Antofagasta 3-0. López, Sánchez and Berríos scored.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Universidad Chile.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Everton playing away and similar expectations, we found 10 relevant matches. Results were 3 Everton wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Everton have scored 20 goals in 14 league games away.
