Head-to-head statistics Deportes La Serena - Univ. de Chile
Deportes La Serena Team Overview
Deportes La Serena have been in fine form recently, winning three and drawing two of their last five matches. Last round they beat Ñublense 2-1, and before that they saw off Unión La Calera 1-0. Their main strength is in attack - they average 1.55 goals per game, and that figure rises to 1.73 at home. La Serena are also one of the highest-scoring teams in the league in terms of match totals, with an average of 3.14 goals per game involving this side. Defensively, though, there are clear limitations: they concede an average of 1.59 per game. Facing one of the league's leading sides, the logical approach for them is to play direct football - that will create opportunities going forward. Defending their way through this one is not a realistic option.
Match Results: Deportes La Serena
Universidad de Chile Team Overview
Universidad de Chile have won 3 of their last 5 matches. Their previous outing was a high-scoring affair in attack, as they beat Coquimbo Unido 4-2. The visitors are performing well going forward, even if the statistics show just 1.45 goals scored per game. Worth noting is that over the course of the season they have the best defensive record in the league, conceding just 0.86 goals per game. However, they have now conceded in five consecutive matches - even in games where they have been completely dominant. The trip to Deportes La Serena will most likely come with considerable difficulties around their own goal, as the hosts play with a bold, aggressive style. That said, there should be no shortage of attacking opportunities either, given the space available in the opposition half.
