La Serena form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for La Serena so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-5 (win-draw-lose).

The attacking players of Serena have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 194 minutes.

Two away games in a row for Serena, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Curico Unido in the Primera Division.

Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Audax Italiano.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.
