Centro Español form and stats

2-2-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Primera D Metropolitana numbers at home for Centro Español so far this season. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.

Español shared the glory with Central Ballester in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1.

In the match before that, Centro Español hosted Yupanqui and drew the game 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Centro Español perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Centro Español as a small favourite), we find 17 games. Centro Español has won 6 of these, drawn 5 and lost 6.

Trouble hitting the net? In this team's last 10 league games, 9 have produced less than three goals (under 2.5).

The Centro Español fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 5 matches. Español are not conceding a lot of goals here at Estadio de Ituzaingó in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.
