Universidad Católica
DWWLLL 📉
Since tasting defeat last time out to Deportes La Serena in Campeonato Nacional action, Universidad Católica and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
The only scorer from Universidad Católica was Fernando Zampedri (90'). Jeisson Vargas (74') was the scorer for Deportes La Serena.
The stats don’t lie, and Universidad Católica have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 8 goals in total. At the back, Universidad Católica seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. It will be interesting to see if that trend will end up being continued on in this game.
