Palestino vs Coquimbo

Two sides with the very same record Palestino and Coquimbo Unido arrive at this tie with numbers that overlap almost uncannily: both have 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats in 15 rounds, both on 24 points, with fifth and fourth place separated only by goal difference. The hosts have scored 23 and conceded 21, the visitors 22 and 18. Home advantage as the only tiebreaker Coquimbo Unido carry the title won last season, but current form describes an almost perfect balance between the two sides. In a league where the average is 2.78 total goals a match and draws account for 21.7% of results, the element that shifts the scales remains familiar ground. The prospect of the hosts avoiding defeat comes in at around 67%.
