Match snapshot
Limache hosts Coquimbo in a Copa Chile clash that pits the competition’s worst home side against one of the strongest travellers. While league averages suggest home advantage is real (44% home wins in Chile this season), Limache has bucked that trend in the worst possible way: no wins, one draw and four defeats in their last five home matches, conceding an average of 2.2 goals per game. In contrast, Coquimbo has lost only one of their last five away trips and kept three clean sheets in that stretch. The head‑to‑head record adds another layer: Coquimbo has not lost to Limache in three meetings this calendar year, winning twice and drawing once. These trends point firmly in one direction, even if the odds aren’t yet fully reflecting it.
Model pick
Away win – Coquimbo to win (1x2 market) @ 2.18
The model assigns Coquimbo a win probability of 51.3%, well above the 45.9% implied by the 2.18 price. That creates an expected value edge of 11.8% – a clear value opportunity. The selection comes with 70% confidence, supported by Coquimbo’s superior form, defensive solidity on the road, and a head‑to‑head record that shows they know how to handle this opponent. While alternative bets like double chance X2 (odds 1.30) offer a safer margin, the implied edge there is only 2.3%, below the threshold that would make it a worthwhile play. The model also considered under 2.5 goals, but the betting history for that market in this odds range has produced negative returns, making it unreliable.
Why it matters
Limache’s home struggles are not a one‑off. In their last 10 matches overall, they have managed only one victory, and that came on the road. At home, they have been consistently porous, shipping 2.2 goals per game while scoring just 0.8. That defensive frailty plays directly into Coquimbo’s hands. Coquimbo, on the other hand, have shown they can grind out results away from home – they have won three of their last five on the road, with an average of 1.4 goals scored and only 1.0 conceded. The contrast in form is stark and gives the away side a clear tactical edge: expect Coquimbo to press high, exploit gaps in Limache’s backline, and control the midfield.
Form
Limache (last 10 matches): 1 win, 2 draws, 7 losses Limache at home (last 5 matches): 0 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses; scored 0.8 goals per game, conceded 2.2
Coquimbo (last 10 matches): 6 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss Coquimbo away (last 5 matches): 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss; scored 1.4 goals per game, conceded 1.0
- Limache’s last five games have averaged 3.4 total goals per match – indicative of a leaky defence and occasional attacking threat.
- Coquimbo’s last five games have averaged 1.8 total goals, highlighting their preference for tight, controlled affairs.
Head-to-head
Six meetings are on record. Coquimbo holds the edge with three wins, two draws and one loss.

Risks
- The model relies on a small sample of home/away matches (five each), which can inflate or deflate expected goals.
- Coquimbo’s away form is strong but not flawless – they did lose once in their last five road trips (to D. Concepcion, 2‑1).
- Historical data on 1x2 away bets shows that such selections, even with positive expected value, have underperformed overall in similar leagues. However, the fixture‑specific edge (form, head‑to‑head, defensive mismatch) overrides that general caution.
- No detailed injury or lineup information is available; both sides are assumed at full strength.
