Unión Española form and stats

When playing at home in the Primera Division, Unión Española have managed 6 wins, 3 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 12 games.

No payout for Unión Española in their previous match, an away game at Palestino that ended in defeat 1-2.

Before that, Unión Española drew at home versus Universidad Catolica.

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 Española have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 4 and lost 1.

A decent goal production from Unión Española in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 12 league matches. Española are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio Santa Laura-Universidad SEK in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 12 matches.

Curicó Unido form and stats

There's been little loot from Curicó Unido's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 12 away games in the Primera Division. Curicó Unido only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws. Recent form does not give Curicó Unido much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Unión Española will be a tough nut to crack.

The manager Ribera was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Estadio Bicentenario La Granja. Curicó Unido suffered a 0-3 loss to Ñublense (placed 12th).

A loss against O'Higgins was the result prior to that, in a home game.

We have checked recent matches where Curicó have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were 4 victories, 4 draws and 7 defeats.

Curicó Unido have conceded 21 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

These competitors have met previously this season: Curicó Unido - Española 0-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: eight - one - one (Unión Española wins - draws - Curicó Unido wins). As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.
