O'Higgins form and stats

With 2 Primera Division wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, O'Higgins are certainly not brimming with confidence.

O'Higgins are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Coquimbo Unido. The first setback in the shape of a loss after going unbeaten through four league games.

Before that match, a win away at Curico Unido.

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 14 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 6 and lost 5.

Goals from both sides! That has happened in 5 league rounds in a row for this team. Could it happen again?

The O'Higgins fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 11 matches. O'Higgins's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Unión La Calera form and stats

The visitors are W3-D6-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Primera Division.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Calera, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Audax Italiano (placed 13th). That defeat was their first after three consecutive league matches winning points. Late heartbreak for Unión La Calera in the Audax Italiano match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Copiapó.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Calera in our archives, and the results are: 6 wins for Unión La Calera, 6 draws and 3 defeats.
