✍️ Match Preview
Pre-Match Analysis
U. Catolica and Coquimbo Unido meet at Claro Arena in Primera División (matchday 4). This fixture gets under way on Saturday 21 February 2026 at 23:30 UK time.
Form
U. Catolica (all games): 8W 1D 1L across their last 10 — 2.50 PPG. Last five: L W W D W. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 0.50 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Defensively, conceding just 0.50 per game is an exceptional defensive record. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes.
U. Catolica at home: 8W 0D 2L from their last 10 home games — 2.40 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.30 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.
Coquimbo Unido's record over their last 10 games: 9W 1D 0L (2.80 PPG). Last five: W W W D W. They are scoring at 1.70 per game and conceding 0.60. Defensively, 0.60 goals conceded per game is elite-level — a side this difficult to score against is a real threat to Over 2.5 and BTTS Yes. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not.
Coquimbo Unido away from home: 9W 1D 0L from their last 10 away games — 2.80 PPG on the road. They are averaging 1.80 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 6 away clean sheets from their last 10 away games (60%) — they are hard to break down on the road.
Both sides are running at similar form levels — 2.50 PPG for U. Catolica against 2.80 for Coquimbo Unido. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.
H2H History
Neither side has dominated the 8 H2H matches in our data: 3 wins for U. Catolica, 5 for Coquimbo Unido and 0 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral.
The 8 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.8 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 27 Jul 2025, ended U. Catolica 0–3 Coquimbo Unido — a Coquimbo Unido win.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
Trading & In-Play
U. Catolica — key trading statistics (last 60 games, 30 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 77% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; of the 13 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 38%; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 53% of games (home games).
Coquimbo Unido — key trading statistics (last 60 games, 30 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 57% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 72% of the time; of the 8 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 38%; BTTS occurs in 43% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 43% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 42% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — U. Catolica 48% versus Coquimbo Unido 47%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (U. Catolica 45% | Coquimbo Unido 43%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects U. Catolica 1.07 xG and Coquimbo Unido 0.82 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: U. Catolica attack 1.026 / defence 0.888 | Coquimbo Unido attack 0.960 / defence 0.729. League average goals — home 1.438 / away 0.963. Coquimbo Unido bring a tight defence (rating 0.729, below 1 = concedes less than average) — this is pulling U. Catolica's projected output down. Data: built from U. Catolica's last 33 games and Coquimbo Unido's last 33.
Result probabilities: U. Catolica 41% | Draw 31% | Coquimbo Unido 27%. Fair-value odds: U. Catolica 2.44 | Draw 3.18 | Coquimbo Unido 3.64. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 30% | BTTS Yes probability 37% | Total xG 1.90. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 70% probability — total xG of 1.90 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match. BTTS No at 63% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, U. Catolica are the pick at 41% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on U. Catolica if the outright odds are short.
On the goals line, Poisson's 1.90 combined xG gives a 70% probability to Under 2.5 — mixed conviction, supported by recent form (U. Catolica's last 10 home games and Coquimbo Unido's last 10 away games) averaging 2.2 goals per game — though the H2H data averaging 2.8 goals per game across 8 H2H matches points the other way.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 63%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: U. Catolica 30% (last 10 home games) | Coquimbo Unido 40% (last 10 away games).

How It Unfolded
U. Catolica beat Coquimbo Unido 3-1 at Claro Arena, Regular Season - 4, in the Primera División. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting U. Catolica 1.07 xG and Coquimbo Unido 0.82 xG, a combined 1.90. The scoreboard read 3-1 for 4 actual goals. U. Catolica beat their projection by 1.9 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of U.

Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 30%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 57% and landed. Over 3.5 was 12% and came in.
