Recent weeks haven't been kind to either side. Huachipato did win 1-0 away at Coquimbo Unido in their last outing, but before that they'd lost four of six, including a 5-1 hammering at Palestino and a 1-4 defeat at home to Everton de Vina. Concepcion have lost four of their last six too, though they did beat Universidad de Chile 2-1 at home in late August.

Both teams arrive with fragile recent form, so this looks like a contest between two sides low on confidence rather than a clash of in-form outfits.

Comparative Team Statistics: Universidad de Concepcion vs Huachipato

Six goals last time out

These two met back in April this year and it wasn't close, Huachipato winning 5-1 away from home. Beyond that, the head-to-head history stretches back several years and includes some tighter, low-scoring results, but that's old ground now and doesn't tell us much about either side's current shape.

What the April match does show is that goals have flowed between these two recently, even if it was a one-sided scoreline.

Both stuck in the bottom half

Huachipato sit 13th with 25 points from 21 games, while Concepcion are 15th on 22 points from 22. Neither total is flattering, and Concepcion's attacking numbers stand out for the wrong reasons, just 17 goals scored across their season compared to 37 conceded.

Huachipato have scored more freely by comparison, 29 goals in 21 matches, but their own defensive record isn't much better with 39 conceded.

Goals could flow again

Both teams have leaked goals regularly this season, and recent matches for both have often been high scoring. Huachipato's last seven games alone included a 5-1, a 1-4 and a 3-3, while Concepcion have been involved in several games with three or more goals too.

Given how often both defences have been breached lately, and with the sole meeting between them this year producing six goals, there's a reasonable case for more goals here than a cagey affair might suggest.
