La Serena to push towards Copa Libertadores spots with win over Palestino
La Serena vs CD Palestino - 20/07/2021
3334
On Tuesday night, La Serena host Palestino in the Chilean Primera Division, as the home team looks to move closer to the league’s top three.
La Serena are seventh place in the table, occupying the last qualification spot for the Copa Sudamericana.
However, the home team is just four points shy of the top three which would earn them a place in the Copa Libertadores qualifying rounds for next season.
Despite a decent season so far in the Chilean top-flight, Miguel Ponce’s team have hit a poor run of form of late in the Primera Division, losing two of their last three outings in the top-flight. Last time out they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Colo Colo.
La Serena will be looking to get back to their defensive best after their last few poor results, as they have claimed clean sheets in six of their last nine outings in the Chilean top-flight.
They have been hard to beat on home soil in the Primera Division mounting a five-game unbeaten run in the Chilean top-flight. A record of four clean sheets in that five-game undefeated run has certainly been a factor in their recent stellar record on home soil.
While La Serena chase continental spots, Palestino are just trying to move away from the wrong end of the table. The visitors are four points clear of the relegation play-off. A run of just one win in their last four league outings has not helped their position in the table.
However, that one win was in their league outing, as the visitors recorded a 2-0 win over Huachipato.
Palestino’s recent away record has been a mixed one in the Chilean top-flight, as they have won two and lost three of their last five outings.
Forebet predicts that La Serena will continue their promising recent league form by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
