San Miguel form and stats

Let's have a look at how San Miguel performed last season in the Primera B Metropolitana: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats. In total they scored 14 and conceded 16 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 1 and lost 6 with 3/11 goals scored/conceded.

San Miguel are looking to quickly end their 223 minutes long goal drought in the Primera B Metropolitana.

San Miguel might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Fenix proved too strong as San Miguel slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas.

A loss against Comunicaciones was the result prior to that, in a home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with San Miguel playing away and similar expectations, we found 18 relevant matches. Results were four Miguel wins, six draws and eight defeats.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last six matches): Deportivo Armenio two wins, four draws and San Miguel zero victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five games had two or less.
