Metropolitanos form and stats

When playing at home in the Primera Division, Metropolitanos have managed 1 win, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 3 games.

In their previous game, the manager Morr led his Metropolitanos to a defeat away at Caracas. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Olímpico de la UCV.

Ahead of that match, Metropolitanos won a home game hosting Deportivo Tachira (2-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Metropolitanos have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won 7 times, drawn 4 and lost 3.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Metropolitanos, as the Copa Libertadores home game vs Nacional is only four days away.

Metropolitanos are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games.
