The visiting Universidad Católica side should be favourites in this visit to Palestino, as the away team holds a 14 point advantage from their 14 league games this season.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Palestino form and stats
3-3-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera Division numbers at home for Palestino, who have the fewest conceded goals (5) at home in Primera Division, so far this season. It's trouble wherever Palestino are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
The fans are hoping that Palestino will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-4 away loss in the Primera Division game against La Serena (placed 18th). Heartbreak before that as Palestino lost 0-1 at Union La Calera's place.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The manager I. Basay Hatibovic will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Curico Unido in only four days.
Palestino are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. From these home matches, Palestino have conceded only 5 goals.
Universidad Católica form and stats
The away team, who have the the best goal difference (+20) in Primera Division, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 2 draws and only 0 losses in the Primera Division.
Universidad won their last game, 2-1 versus Internacional played at home. A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Univ. Concepcion in the Primera Division.
After this away game Universidad return home for a Primera Division game against La Serena. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Universidad have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 15 goals from 7 away matches. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far).
Head 2 Head
