The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. O'Higgins are in the 12th position while the guesting La Serena worry at 13th.
- O'Higgins has the most conceded goals (21) at home in Primera Division
- La Serena is in the best form (5-1-0)
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Primera Division match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Union La Calera.
O'Higgins form and stats
With 3 Primera Division wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats from their home games, O'Higgins, who have the most conceded goals (21) at home in Primera Division, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Hopes of three in a row are alive for O'Higgins after consecutive victories at their own ground.
Happy days for O'Higgins in their previous game, a Primera Division match away at Union La Calera (placed 2nd) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Heartbreak before that as O'Higgins lost 0-1 at Santiago Wanderers's place.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how O'Higgins have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost two.
O'Higgins are traveling soon after this match as the Primera Division match at Universidad Chile awaits in four days.
O'Higgins has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. O'Higgins have conceded 21 from these games.
La Serena form and stats
Playing away, La Serena have won 4 games, drawn 2 and suffered 7 defeats in the Primera Division this season. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes La Serena's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Universidad Católica game.
511 minutes! That's how long the La Serena goalkeeper Zacarias Orlando Lopez Gonzalez and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Two travels in a row for La Serena, whose manager F. Bozán Santibáñez could celebrate last time after the Primera Division win against Univ. Concepcion. A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Universidad Chile.
We have checked recent matches where Serena have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 17 games were one victory, six draws and ten defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Serena are hosting Everton in the Primera Division only four days away.
Serena have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 13 goals have been scored. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 18 goals have been conceded by La Serena in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
