Form Analysis

Looking at their last 10 matches, Deportes Iquique stand at 5W 1D 4L — 1.60 PPG. Last five: W L W L W. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.50 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).

At home, Deportes Iquique have gone 7W 1D 2L in their last 10 home games (2.20 PPG). They are averaging 2.00 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.20 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.60 — Deportes Iquique are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Huachipato — last 10 games: 4W 1D 5L — 1.30 PPG. Last five: L L W L W. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

Huachipato's away record over their last 10 away games: 2W 0D 8L (0.60 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 2.10 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.60 is notably below their overall 1.30 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Deportes Iquique 1.60 PPG, Huachipato 1.30 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.

H2H

The H2H picture is flat: the 2 H2H matches we hold have produced 1 wins for Deportes Iquique, 1 for Huachipato and 0 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here. With only 2 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 3.5 per game across the 2 H2H matches we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 15 Sep 2024, ended Deportes Iquique 3–1 Huachipato — a Deportes Iquique win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.5 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Patterns

Deportes Iquique in-play and half-time data (last 30 games, 15 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 80% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 73% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 73% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 37%.

Huachipato in-play and half-time data (last 30 games, 15 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 73% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 62% of the time; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 53% of games (away games); they fail to score in 37% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Deportes Iquique 70% versus Huachipato 47%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Deportes Iquique 77% | Huachipato 50%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Deportes Iquique 1.06 xG and Huachipato 1.36 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: Deportes Iquique attack 0.847 / defence 1.556 | Huachipato attack 0.959 / defence 0.814. League average goals — home 1.537 / away 0.914. Deportes Iquique's defence rating of 1.556 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Huachipato's projected output up. Data: built from Deportes Iquique's last 38 games and Huachipato's last 39.

Result probabilities: Deportes Iquique 29% | Draw 27% | Huachipato 44%. Fair-value odds: Deportes Iquique 3.43 | Draw 3.69 | Huachipato 2.29. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS Yes probability 49% | Total xG 2.42. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.42 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 51% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Huachipato at 44% — marginal model lean. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Huachipato offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

The Poisson model projects 2.42 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 56% — low conviction — though recent form (Deportes Iquique's last 10 home games and Huachipato's last 10 away games) averaging 3.1 goals per game points the other way.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 51% on No. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Deportes Iquique 70% (last 10 home games) | Huachipato 50% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.
