📏 Form Guide

O'Higgins

LLLWDL

O'Higgins will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 2-0 Campeonato Nacional loss in their previous game against Coquimbo Unido.

Andrés Chávez (14') scored for Coquimbo Unido.

O'Higgins have been quite ineffective in attack of late. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 3 versus opposition teams during their last 6 outings. In those meetings, O'Higgins have also seen the number of goals scored against them total 9.

Unión Española

WLWLWW

Unión Española will come into the match following a 5-3 Campeonato Nacional win as they beat Deportes Copiapó in their last outing.

For Unión Española, goals were scored by Fernando Ovelar (21', 35'), Pablo Aránguiz (28'), Stefano Magnasco (56') and Franco Frías (65').

The numbers tell their own story, and Unión Española have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 10 goals in all. At the back, Unión Española seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. That trend might not be sustained into this next game, of course.

There is just the lone fitness concern for the O'Higgins gaffer Pablo de Muner to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Matías Belmar (Cruciate ligament tear) is sidelined.
