MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

 

Union Espanola are coming off a disappointing 3-0 loss against Universidad Chile in their previous league match, and their recent form has been disappointing with just one win in last eight league matches. They’ve also gone winless in their last six home outings (D3, L3) and have failed to score more than one goal in any of their last six home matches. They’re clearly struggling, and the managerial change hasn’t helped them at all.

La Serena are coming off a 2-1 loss against Universidad Catolica the last time out, and that means they’ve posted a W1, D4, L2 mark over their last seven league outings. La Serena had some good moments in the past few months and aren’t really complicated with the relegation threat, but their dip in form can be concerning. They’ve also gone undefeated in their last seven league outings away from home (W4, D3).

Union Espanola are the better side on paper and are due for a bounce-back effort, so they should win here.

 

HEAD TO HEAD

Union Espanola have a slight edge in the recent H2H league meetings (W3, L2).
