The Universidad Catolica manager A. Holan attacks this game with the team placed 3rd so far. In the visitors dressing room Deportes Iquique and their manager E. Guerrero are in 16th place before this match.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Deportes Iquique have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
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.
A strong away win for Universidad Católica against Antofagasta the last match, as E. Puch and F. Zampedri (2) were on target. Previous to that game, a home match hosting O'Higgins in a game that was won 3-2.
Early season league goal statistics from Universidad Católica's 1 home game: 3 goals, 2 conceded.
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? Deportes Iquique seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The attacking players of Deportes Iquique have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 232 minutes.
The manager E. Guerrero was unhappy after their last game, a Primera Division match played at their home ground Estadio Tierra de Campeones. Deportes Iquique suffered a 0-4 loss to Antofagasta (placed 2nd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Curicó Unido wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Antofagasta was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Deportes Iquique has managed 2 goals and let in 4 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
