Insights:
  • Colo-Colo have the most clean sheets (11) in Primera Division

Colo-Colo could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Primera Division game only three sleeps ago.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Palestino form and stats

5-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera Division numbers at home for Palestino so far this season. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Estadio Municipal de La Cisterna.

The home team returns to Estadio Municipal de La Cisterna after being equal after 90 minutes with Huachipato (placed 14th) on their last time out; the Primera Division game ended 1-1. A painful moment in the game against Huachipato was the missed penalty kick from B. Carrasco in the 45th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.

Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against Melipilla.

The Palestino fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 16 goals in 10 league matches. On the other hand, Palestino have conceded 12 goals.
