MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: AWAY WIN

 

Union Espanola are coming off a huge 2-1 win over Everton VM in their last game since their match against Curico Unido got suspended. That victory snapped a five-game winless streak (D2, L3), and it’s clear they’ve been trending in the wrong direction over the last few weeks. The fact that they’ll be shorthanded and missing a few key players for this game shouldn’t help the chances of a struggling side, either.

Antofagasta are coming off a 1-0 away win over Coquimbo Unido the last time out, and that result means they’ve lost just once in their last five league matches. They’ll be playing back-to-back away games here, which might end up being a concern, but at the very least they snapped their losing streak on the road. They’ve gone W4, D3 and L5 away from home during the current season.

Antofagasta will take advantage of Union Espanola’s lengthy list of absentees to secure a big win away from home.

 

HEAD TO HEAD

The recent H2H record between both sides indicates parity, with three draws and one win apiece over the last five league games between both clubs.
