Defensores Unidos form and stats

Things could have gone better for Defensores Unidos in their Primera B Metropolitana away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. One point away has become something of a habit for Defensores who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Defensores Unidos failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Fénix (placed 11th) that ended with defeat 0-1. That defeat was their first after five consecutive league rounds winning points.

Before that, Defensores Unidos travelled to Ituzaingo and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

The attacking power of Defensores when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Defensores Unidos as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head
