Deportes Iquique Universidad Católica betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 5^th position of the league, with 26 points won, after 7 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Audax Italiano, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Coquimbo Unido, by (0‑3). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 17 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 9 away league matches Univ Católica has a record of 1 win, 5 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 27 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 6 away matches. In their away league matches, the most frequent final score was the 1‑1 (5 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 8 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

For their part, Universidad Católica were unable to avoid a heavy blow in the previous round of the Chilean Championship. The team, playing in their own stadium, were dominated by Coquimbo in a game in which the visitors scored three goals without much difficulty. Now that they need to react immediately to avoid getting even worse in the standings, it's crucial that they change their attitude. Acting in a more attacking manner, even away from home, could be a key factor in beating the competition's bottom side, who will be motivated by their return to winning ways.

Confirmed Lineup: Vicente Bernedo, Eugenio Mena, Sebastián Arancibia, Gary Medel, Cristian Cuevas, Tomás Asta-Buruaga, Branco Ampuero , Jhojan Valencia, Fernando Zampedri , Clemente Montes, Diego Valencia.
