Santiago Wanderers form and stats

Santiago Wanderers have played three Primera Division home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Santiago Wanderers, who played 3-3 against Audax Italiano. That match was also played at this venue (Estadio Elías Figueroa Brander). Prior to that, an away loss at La Serena.

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?
