H2H Analysis

The head-to-head record is closely matched — Coquimbo Unido lead 3W to 2W over the last 5 encounters, with 0 draws, though neither side has established a commanding advantage.

These two sides have produced goals at a consistent rate historically, averaging 3.2 per game across 5 meetings. That scoring profile provides genuine support for the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent clash, on 25 May 2024, ended 2–1 with Coquimbo Unido winning.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.2 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Coquimbo Unido 60% and Union La Calera 60% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Coquimbo Unido 52% | Union La Calera 48%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Coquimbo Unido 1.14 xG and Union La Calera 0.80 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: Coquimbo Unido attack 0.964 / defence 0.866 | Union La Calera attack 0.784 / defence 0.786. League average goals — home 1.507 / away 1.184. Union La Calera's defence strength of 0.786 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Data: 58 Coquimbo Unido games / 58 Union La Calera games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Coquimbo Unido 44% | Draw 31% | Union La Calera 26%. Fair-value odds: Coquimbo Unido 2.27 | Draw 3.23 | Union La Calera 3.85. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 31% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 31% | BTTS probability 38% | Total xG 1.94. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 69% probability — total xG of 1.94 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 38% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Coquimbo Unido at 44% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Union La Calera (1.40 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. Draw probability of 31% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Coquimbo Unido if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 1.94 combined xG gives a 31% probability to Under 2.5 — marginal — conflicting signals, supported by form averaging 2.1 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 3.2 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 38%. Form rates corroborate: Coquimbo Unido 50% | Union La Calera 40% BTTS from recent games.
