The Unión Española & Universidad Chile managers R. Fuentes Núñez and H. Caputto Gómez are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Primera Division league table.
This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.
Unión Española form and stats
Unión Española, who have the most scored goals (11) at home in Primera Division, have played 5 Primera Division games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).
A good away victory last time out for Unión Española, who won 3-2 against Univ. Concepción (placed 16th). In the game before, an away victory match versus Universidad Católica with a 1-0 scoreline.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of R. Fuentes Núñez when M. Caballero scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 84th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when M. Caballero scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time.
Española can score goals in their home matches. After 5 league matches they have found the net 11 times. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
Universidad Chile form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Primera Division travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
Universidad Chile has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Palestino for a Primera Division game that ended a draw (2-2). A 0-0 draw was the result before that, hosting Everton.
Drawing 2-2 against Palestino after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager H. Caputto Gómez needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
Universidad have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 8 goals from 4 away matches. Universidad Chile have conceded 7 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
