📏 Form Guide

Palestino

DDWLLW ⚖

Palestino will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 0-2 Campeonato Nacional victory versus Ñublense.

An interesting feature of recent Palestino games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

Taking their previous six matches before this one, in 6 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would have been a loser.

Looking at their past form shows that Palestino:

• are unbeaten in the league by Huachipato in their previous 3 matches.
• are without a win at home for the past 2 league matches.

Huachipato

WWDDWD 📈

Last time out, Huachipato drew 0-0 in the Campeonato Nacional tie with O'Higgins.

A series of effective displays from the Huachipato defensive unit has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 3 from their previous 6 outings in total. In that period of time, the number of goals that they have scored themselves is 7. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this game, though.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Huachipato:

• are winless against Palestino in away games against them for the last 6 matches in the league. They really have not been travelling well at all.
• are unbeaten in their previous 2 away league matches.

📰 Team News: Palestino

There is just the sole fitness concern for the Palestino manager Pablo Sánchez to be concerned about from a near full-strength group of players. Nicolás Meza (Cruciate ligament tear) is sidelined.

📋 Team News: Huachipato

Thanks to a completely injury-free squad ready to go, the Huachipato manager Javier Sanguinetti does not have any fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this match.

✨ Prediction

Huachipato will do well to register a score against this Palestino lineup who we think will likely gain the upper hand.

Therefore, we predict a good battle with a 1-0 win for Palestino when all is said and done.
