It's still early in the Primera Division season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Universidad Católica - Deportes Iquique preview!
It's no vacation for neither Universidad Católica nor Deportes Iquique as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as Deportes Iquique have to travel 1700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Universidad Católica form and stats
The hosts won their first Primera Division game here at Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Universidad Católica last season were 6 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss from 11 games.
Universidad Católica's last game was hosting Deportes Iquique (placed 16th) and winning 2-1. Before that match, a win away at Colo-Colo.
The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Universidad Católica home games with this odds we find three games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in three wins, zero draws and zero defeats. Looking at the victories, two matches were won by at least two goals.
At Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo, Universidad Católica has the goal stats of 3-2 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Deportes Iquique form and stats
It's not happening yet for Deportes Iquique on their Primera Division travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? It's a growing despair in Deportes Iquique as they have recorded three consecutive losses. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Deportes Iquique's last three away games as they have all been lost.
A. Ramos was the last player to score for the away team. Deportes Iquique haven't scored a league goal in the last 232 minutes.
Two away games in a row for Deportes Iquique, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Universidad Católica in the Primera Division. A loss against Antofagasta was the result prior to that, in a home game.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Deportes Iquique played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, zero were draws and the home team won as expected one time.
2 goals so far away for Deportes Iquique, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 4. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Universidad Católica four wins, four draws and Deportes Iquique two victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
