The Acassuso goalkeeper is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 182 minutes without conceding a goal in the Primera B Metropolitana.

Happy days for Acassuso in their previous game, a fixture away at Deportivo Merlo (placed 17th) that ended with a 2-0 victory.

Ahead of that match, Acassuso won a home game hosting Ituzaingo (1-0).

This is expected to be a close game, with Acassuso perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Acassuso as a small favourite), we find 19 games. Acassuso has won 6 of these, drawn 7 and lost 6.

The manager Friederich will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Los Andes in only four days.

Deportivo Armenio form and stats

There's been little loot from Deportivo Armenio's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 7 away games in the Primera B Metropolitana. Deportivo Armenio only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 4 draws. One point away has become something of a habit for Deportivo Armenio who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Deportivo Armenio have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Ivan Lopez. It's been 205 minutes since they last conceded in Primera B Metropolitana.

Villalva scored in Armenio's previous match, the home game against Argentino Merlo that ended 1-0. That victory felt sweet as this club had gone five league games without winning. Villalva came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Argentino Merlo last time out, making the manager Grabinski feel like a tactical genius.

A 0-0 draw at Fenix's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Deportivo Armenio playing away and similar expectations, we found 15 relevant matches. Results were 5 Deportivo Armenio wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats.

Lacking goals? 8 of this team's most recent 10 league rounds have contained two goals or less.

A new game in only four days for Deportivo Armenio, the Primera B Metropolitana home match versus Talleres Remedios. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Armenio as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: five - two - three (Acassuso wins - draws - Deportivo Armenio wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
