The visiting Cobresal side are probably odds-on favourites at Universidad Chile, as the guests own a 12 point lead from their 29 league games this season.

Insights:
  • Universidad Chile have the fewest points from losing position (0) in Primera Division
  • Cobresal have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Relegation threatens Universidad Chile who should definitely be looking for some points here. Cobresal is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

These teams have little in common geographically as Cobresal have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

These are hectic days for the host team, as they played only three days ago in the Chilean Cup. That game was an away game at Union Espanola, so at least Universidad are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Universidad Chile form and stats

When playing at home in the Primera Division, Universidad Chile have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 14 games.

The club members hope that Universidad Chile will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Chilean Cup fixture against Union Espanola.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Huachipato (0-4).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Universidad Chile have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 10 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 2 and lost 3.

The Universidad fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 14 matches. 17 goals have been conceded.

Cobresal form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cobresal so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-8 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.

Sepúlveda scored in Cobresal's previous match, the home game against Palestino that ended 1-0.

Prior to that match, the Cobresal manager Araya faced defeat when travelling to O'Higgins and losing 0-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cobresal playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 3 Cobresal wins, 1 draw and 9 defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Cobresal have scored 18 goals in 14 league games away. Cobresal have conceded 24 goals in these games.

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - three - four (Universidad Chile wins - draws - Cobresal wins).
