La Serena's equivalent run reads very differently. Six wins, five draws and nine losses from their last 20, shipping 40 goals along the way. They've still found the net regularly themselves, but keeping things tight at the back has clearly been the issue.

Concepción head into this on much firmer recent footing than the two-team table alone suggests.

Comparative Team Statistics: D. La Serena vs Concepción

Head-to-Head: Just One Meeting

There's only one meeting between these two on record, back in April, and it finished 3-3 at Concepción's ground. That's plenty of goals for a single data point, though it's far too small a sample to lean on heavily.

It does at least suggest neither side finds it easy to keep the other out when they play.

League Table: Closer Than It Looks

The table has these two closer than their form suggests. Concepción sit eighth with 31 points from 23 games, La Serena ninth with 30. Just a point separates them.

Look closer and the shape of those campaigns differs. Concepción have actually lost more matches outright, 10 to La Serena's 7, but conceded 12 fewer goals overall, giving them a healthier goal difference despite the extra defeats. La Serena, meanwhile, have drawn nine of their 23 league games, which has kept them in touch on points without translating into a settled defensive record.

A single point in the table hides a fair gap in how these two seasons have actually played out.

Players to Watch

Both sides have a reliable source of goals. La Serena's J. Vargas has 7 goals and 7 assists in 23 appearances, while F. Chamorro has chipped in 6 more for them. Concepción's J. Larrivey matches Vargas on 7 goals, doing it in four fewer games.

Discipline is worth flagging too. Concepción's D. Carrasco has picked up two red cards in his last ten appearances, which is a lot for one player over such a short stretch.

Losing Carrasco to another card would be a blow Concepción can ill afford against a side that still scores freely.
