Santiago Wanderers vs Curico Unido Predictions and Betting Tips
The Estadio Elias Figueroa Brander is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter as Santiago Wanderers and Curico Unido go head-to-head in the Chilean top-flight. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Curico Unido finally managed a victory in this fixture at the fourth time of asking with that hard-fought 2-1 victory last time both sides met. With the Wanderers slender 2-1 lead on the head-to-head record in the spotlight, would we see them stretch out with a victory in this fixture ?
Action at the bottom of the Chilean Primera Division
Santiago Wanderers are far at the bottom of the Chilean division with 19 points amassed so far after 28 league matches. The Wanderers head into Friday's match without a win in their last four league games and would cement a place in the second division if they fail to pick up a win. In their most recent game, they were hammered by Colo Colo who netted three unanswered goals to hand the Wanderers their 19th loss of the season.
Curico, on the flip side, are on the brink of safety as they currently occupy the relegation playoffs position. Universidad de Chile is just above them with three points and we could well see Curico move above their relegation rivals with a win here as well as other results going their way. A Marcelo Larrondo brace for O'Higgins downed 2-0 in their most recent meeting. Would we see them get back to winning ways this time around ?
Santiago Wanderers vs Curico Unido Prediction: 0-1
The Wanderers are miles from safety and only a miracle could save them from relegation this season. Curico has been showing signs of some fight in their recent results and although they lost last time out, we see them getting back to winning ways at the Estadio Elias Figueroa Brander
