La Luz form and stats

2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of La Luz playing as the away team in the Primera Division this season. With the La Luz losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

The manager Martínez was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue. Luz suffered a 2-3 loss to Wanderers. A huge disappointment for La Luz in their last match (vs Wanderers). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat. Luz were so close to getting something from the game against Wanderers, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.

A 0-3 defeat away at Defensor Sporting before that.

Goal-happy betting people should observe that 9 of this team's 11 most recent league rounds have ended with at least three goals.

As opposed to that, La Luz have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
