La Sere’s away record is a concern
La Serena’s recent results have been a mixed bag, with two wins and three defeats from their last five, but their away form is concerning. Cristian Paulucci, who only took over as head coach in May 2025, needs his team to be much tighter at the back.
This Palestino Santiago vs La Serena prediction also takes into account that La Serena’s most notable result during this period was a 3-1 win away at Universidad Catolica, but a 2-4 home loss to Coquimbo Unido must have dampened the mood in the camp.

Palestino have been the better team this season, but both teams have been a bit inconsistent recently, which could make for an interesting game on the field. The bookmakers odds are probably about right for this one, but the over 2.5 goals market looks a little more attractive given La Serena’s poor defensive record on the road and Palestino’s solid table position, which suggests they should have the better of the visitors based on the latest Palestino Santiago vs La Serena betting tips.
