Team analysis: O’Higgins
The home team currently occupies 6th place, having accrued 13 points from 2 wins, 5 draws, and 1 loss. They suffered a defeat in their penultimate match against Audax Italiano (1‑0), but bounced back to secure a home win against Palestino (1‑0). O’Higgins is significantly stronger at home, gathering 8 points from 12 possible, compared to just 5 when playing away. They remain unbeaten at home in their last 4 league games, with a solid overall home record of 7 goals scored from their 19 total goals towards the end of games (76’–90′).
O’Higgins has been performing admirably so far, aiming for qualification in the Copa Sudamericana. Playing at home, they are desperate for three points to maintain momentum and assert themselves among the contenders for an international spot. The team has exhibited a balanced approach between defence and attack, and they are expected to impose themselves against Iquique. Achieving victory in this encounter is crucial for sustaining their positive form in the competition.
Team analysis: Iquique
The visiting team finds itself in a troubling 16th position, having only 1 point from 1 draw and 5 losses. In their penultimate match, they drew against Ñublense (1‑1), but their latest outing resulted in a loss to Deportes Limache (2‑0). Interestingly, the team often performs better away, having secured 1 point on the road while failing to earn any at home, where they scored 1 goal but conceded 6. As visitors, they have netted 3 goals while conceding 8. The team comes into this match after a home draw with Cienciano (2‑2) and has only managed to collect 1 point from 12 available in their last 4 away matches in the league.
Iquique has not celebrated a win in their last 6 league matches. Defensively, they have shown weakness, having conceded goals in every one of their past 6 encounters. Unfortunately, they rarely score first and have only managed to take the lead in 3 of their last 15 matches, with minimal success in turning results around post the first goal against them.
Iquique is currently struggling, occupying the bottom position with just one point. Their lack of defensive solidity and offensive efficiency complicates any prospects for recovery in the league. To turn their fortunes around against O’Higgins, significant improvements must be made to avoid defeat and to find the net to escape the relegation zone.
