Palestino form and stats

When playing at home in the Primera Division, Palestino have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 8 games. Game days at Estadio Municipal de La Cisterna have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Palestino as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Happy days for Palestino in their previous game, a fixture away at Audax Italiano (placed 11th) that ended with a 3-0 victory.

Ahead of that result, a home defeat in the Copa Sudamericana against Fortaleza.

Palestino has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Palestino have conceded 13 from these games. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Coquimbo Unido form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera Division travels is 4 wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats. The fact that Coquimbo Unido have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

The Coquimbo Unido goalkeeper Diego Sanchez Carvajal is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Coquimbo won their last game, 1-0 versus Curicó Unido played at home.

Ahead of that, 1-1 at home vs La Serena (after extra-time, 4-2 on penalties) in the Chilean Cup. As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Coquimbo Unido playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 1 away win, 0 draws and 4 home wins.

Coquimbo Unido find the net regularly in their away games. 10 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. 10 goals have been conceded by Coquimbo in these games.
