La Serena form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for La Serena so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-7 (win-draw-lose).
The manager Marini was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Estadio La Portada de La Serena. La Serena suffered a 1-2 loss to Universidad Chile (placed 13th).
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Curico Unido wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites.
