Unión Española form and stats

The Primera Division results at home this season for Unión Española are 4-5-2 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager Bravo led his Unión Española to a defeat away at Colo-Colo. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Santa Laura-Universidad SEK. Española were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Audax Italiano (2-3).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Unión Española's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 8 games, won 3 matches, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Take note that 12 of the most recent 15 league games from this club have had at least one goal from each side.

Unión Española are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 11 games. 13 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

La Serena form and stats

There's been little loot from La Serena's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 11 away games in the Primera Division. La Serena only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws. Three has not been a lucky number for Serena as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Cobresal match.

La Serena aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 287 league minutes without a goal. Rossel was the last player to find the net.

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Universidad Católica with 0-4 on the scoreboard. La Serena lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

A 0-4 defeat away at Everton before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Serena when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 6 matches with the visitors losing 1 time, drawing 3 and winning 2 games.

Observe: 8 of the last 10 league games featuring this club have had only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The La Serena manager Marini has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels. La Serena has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

Unión Española have pulled off a streak of 5 consecutive games without losing (3-2-0) when playing La Serena.

These teams played each other earlier this campaign: La Serena - Española 1-2.
