Palestino will be looking for another win after the 0-2 Campeonato Nacional victory vs 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.
In their previous fixture, Huachipato drew 0-0 in the Campeonato Nacional match 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.
