Universidad Católica are thought of as probable winners of this home game against Unión Española, if the league table is to be trusted. Or could we be looking at a possible?

Insights:
  • Universidad Católica have the most scored goals (19) in Primera Division
  • Unión Española have the fewest scored goals (6) in Primera Division

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Universidad Católica form and stats

Seven points from three Primera Division home games is a great start for Universidad Católica, who are hoping to build on that form here at Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo.

The fans are hoping that Universidad will strike back in this game, putting things right after the 2-3 away defeat in the Copa Sudamericana fixture against Audax Italiano.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Nublense and winning 2-1.

Both teams on the scoresheet! That has occurred in 6 league matches in a row for this team. Could it happen again?

Universidad Católica always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo with 11 goals in 3 league games.
