Club Deportes Antofagasta vs Deportes Iquique Prediction & Betting Tips 29.03.2026

Club Deportes Antofagasta come in with four goals in their last two league matches, including a 2-2 draw away to Santiago Wanderers on 22 March and a 2-1 home win over Unión Española before that. Their home league record is modest rather than dominant, but it still carries the edge here: one win and one defeat, with three goals scored and three conceded. Against a Deportes Iquique side that has taken only one point from its two away league games, the home advantage matters more than the headline table positions.

Deportes Iquique’s away numbers are the bigger concern for them. They have scored just once in two league trips, and their last away outing ended in a 2-0 defeat at Deportes Copiapó after failing to register a shot on target. That follows a 1-1 draw at Deportes Temuco, so their away form has been thin in attack and vulnerable once they fall behind. For a home win market, that lack of road punch is a major reason to lean toward Antofagasta.

There is also enough recent head-to-head history to keep the hosts in front of this matchup. Club Deportes Antofagasta have beaten Iquique in both of their most recent meetings at home and scored in each of those fixtures, while Iquique have not kept a clean sheet in several recent clashes between the sides. The numbers are not extreme enough to make this look straightforward, though, because Antofagasta’s own home record has included a concession in both league games.

Antofagasta’s underlying attacking trend is still slightly healthier. They have seven goals in seven league matches overall, and the xG projection for this game is 1.6 to 1.1 in their favour. Iquique have five points from five league outings and are now four without a win, so they arrive short on momentum. The main tension is that Antofagasta have not been watertight at home, which leaves room for a close scoreline rather than a comfortable one.

My prediction is Home Win at 105/100. Antofagasta have the stronger home split, Iquique have just one point from two away league games, and the visitors have managed only one away goal in that span. The recent xG edge also leans to the hosts, and the head-to-head record at this ground has favoured Antofagasta.
