Unión Española vs U. de Chile Prediction – Primera Division” → “Unión Española vs U. de Chile Prediction – Primera Division

After suffering three consecutive defeats, the home team sits at 16th position with no points on the table. In their last match, they lost to La Serena (1-0), and before that, they were defeated at home by Palestino (0-3). Unión Española performs markedly better at their home ground, with a record of 7 wins, 1 draw, and 7 losses over the last 30 home games, compared to 3 wins, 3 draws, and 9 losses as visitors. They did, however, secure a 3-1 victory over Everton at home in their recent South American Bridgestone Cup fixture, progressing via penalties. In their last 10 home games, they have recorded 5 wins and 5 losses. Defensively, they have proven vulnerable, conceding in 9 of their last 10 matches. Notably, 13 of their last 16 home games have ended with over 2.5 goals. The team typically struggles to open the scoring, achieving this in only 3 of their last 15 games. In 15 games overall, they have only managed a turnaround in 2 of the 12 matches where they conceded first.

Unión Española’s start to the competition has been concerning, with defeats in all matches to date. The lack of offensive efficiency combined with defensive vulnerabilities has led to a poor campaign. With no goals scored and eight conceded in just three games, a drastic improvement is necessary to claim their first points. Hosting this match, they will need to demonstrate more organised and aggressive football. The defence must tighten up, while the attack has to capitalise on created opportunities. Only a significant improvement on their current performance level can deliver a positive result.
