Please make your betting odds using the information available below.

Deportivo Iquique extended their winless streak to three during their last four games in their match against Coquimbo in the Chilean Quarter-final Cup in their 2nd-leg matchup. Meanwhile, they had also suffered a defeat against them in their 1st-leg encounter, making a 3-1 aggregate score, while they tied in their league matchups against U. Catolica, and they were victorious against Copiapo. During these games, they have scored five goals while conceding six. Playing on their home soil, they will aim to end their winless streak and seek a home win.

Huachipato tied two and won three in their last five games in both Cup and league competitions. They tied against Palestino and Imperial Unido, while they were victorious against O’Higgins, Imperial Unido, and Presidente Ibanez. During these games, they have scored seventeen goals while conceding three. Having gained 25 points in 22 games, Huachipato are now ranked in 12th place in the league table.

Since 2017, Deportes Iquique and Huachipato have met in eight games. Deportes Iquique won two, while Huachipato won three, and both teams tied in five. Meanwhile, both teams scored against one another in five games, and more than two goals were recorded in three.

Coming into this match, we expect both teams to find the net, while we expect scoring above two goals to be recorded since the home team will aim to bounce back to the winning ways on their home soil while the visiting team will aim to maintain their unbeaten streak of five. Therefore, we expect both teams to focus more on their attacking play than their defence. Moreover, the visiting team are expected to be in their best play in this match. Since they are below the home team with 11- points in the league table, we expect them to avoid a defeat following their previous record. Hence, we expect them to secure a win or end in a draw.
