The Primera Division season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Palestino and O'Higgins promises to be an interesting one.
Palestino have less rest than O'Higgins in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Copa Libertadores game only three days ago. This match was also played here at Estadio Municipal de La Cisterna. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, O'Higgins have had more rest.
Palestino form and stats
The hosts won their first Primera Division game here at Estadio Municipal de La Cisterna, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Palestino last season were 6 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses from 12 games.
Palestino's previous game was a Copa Libertadores match also played at home, ending 5-1 versus Cerro Largo. The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that, Palestino played out a Primera Division draw 1-1 when visiting Union Espanola.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Palestino played a great game against Cerro Largo and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
This is expected to be a close game, with Palestino perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Palestino as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Palestino has won five of these, drawn six and lost two.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Palestino at home in the league. 1 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
O'Higgins form and stats
O'Higgins have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Primera Division were 2 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats from 12 fixtures.
O'Higgins go into this game after a win, the home game against Santiago Wanderers that ended 2-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Universidad Catolica wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with O'Higgins playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were two O'Higgins wins, three draws and three defeats.
2 goals so far away for O'Higgins, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Palestino one win, four draws and O'Higgins five victories. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
