O'Higgins form and stats

O'Higgins's struggle is real here at Estadio El Teniente with only 10 points collected from 12 Primera Division games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-4-6.

O'Higgins's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Unión La Calera (placed 6th).

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Coquimbo Unido (1-2).

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 5 and lost 6.

O'Higgins are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 14 goals in 12 games. 16 goals have been conceded.

Universidad Católica form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera Division travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

Universidad Católica lost away at Colo-Colo (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. That defeat was their first after three consecutive league fixtures winning points. Universidad were so close to getting something from the game against Colo-Colo, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal eleven minutes into overtime.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Magallanes.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Universidad Católica playing away and similar expectations, we found 4 relevant matches. Results were 2 Universidad Católica wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

Universidad Católica are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 18 times in 12 away games so far. Universidad Católica struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 20 goals conceded from these games.
