Alianza form and stats

This stadium, Estadio Cuscatlán, has been a fortress for Alianza in the Primera Division so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 10-1-0.

The Alianza fans enjoyed the previous game, watching their team host Chalatenango and win 3-1.

A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Jocoro.

Alianza are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found twelve matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won ten, drew one and lost one.

There will be little rest for Alianza after this match as they are travelling to Santa Tecla for a Primera Division game in only three days.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (26 in 11 games), Alianza's attacking play is working. Alianza have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 5 goals. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Firpo form and stats

3 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Firpo playing as the away team in the Primera Division this season. Firpo seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

It might be tough going out on the road again for Firpo, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Chalatenango.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Isidro Metapán.

After this away game Firpo return home for a Primera Division game against CD Platense. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Firpo are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 17 times in 11 away games so far. 16 goals have been conceded by Firpo in these games.

Head to head data (for the prior ten meetings): Alianza won seven games, one match ended with a draw and Firpo managed two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: seven / three
