Primera Division: Two squads who have done fine up to now. Get smart on Unión Española - Cobresal with this thorough preview!
- Unión Española have not yet lost a game at home.
- Cobresal have the most points from losing position (9) in Primera Division
These teams have little in common geographically as Cobresal have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Unión Española form and stats
3 victories, 2 draws and 0 defeats. That’s what Unión Española have to build on here at Estadio Santa Laura-Universidad SEK in the Primera Division. There’s a good atmosphere here at Estadio Santa Laura-Universidad SEK after three straight home wins.
Española are returning here after visiting La Serena and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Piñeiro (2) scored the goal(s). Some amazing scenes last match, when Piñeiro scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Colo-Colo in a game that was won 2-1.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 Unión Española have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost three.
Unión Española are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 5 games. Unión Española have only conceded 3 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Audax Italiano.Cobresal are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is four wins, five draws and six defeats. From a total of 15 matches.
