Palestino form and stats

6 victories, 4 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Palestino, who have the most scored goals (24) at home in Primera Division, have to build on here at Municipal de La Cisterna in the Primera Division. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Palestino after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The fans are hoping that Palestino will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Primera Division game against Cobresal (placed 10th). Ahead of that match, Palestino won a home game hosting Curicó Unido (4-2).

A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Cobresal) as a comfortable lead 1-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3. Palestino's goalkeeper Fabián Cerda was extremely busy against Cobresal, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning 6 saves.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Palestino have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won 5 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Palestino can score goals in their home matches. After 12 league matches they have found the net 24 times. On the other hand, Palestino have conceded 13 goals.
