The most striking stat in this matchup is that Universidad Católica have scored 43 goals in 20 matches, yet have lost 2 of their last 5, including heavy defeats of 0-3 and 1-2. Meanwhile, O'Higgins have scored just 24 goals but have won 2 of their last 3 (2-1, 3-1) and are in good form. In this game, the hosts are likely to dominate possession (the control stats lean toward the home side), but a defense that has conceded 29 goals this season makes them unreliable at the back. O'Higgins, who score most frequently in the 76-90 minute period with 28% of their goals, clearly show they often finish games strongly. The 76-90 minute period is also when Universidad Católica concede the most, with 25% of all goals they've let in. If the score remains close going into the final stages, the chances of O'Higgins scoring an equalizer or a winner are high, and that's the picture that suggests this game won't end with the hosts pulling away.
