Alvarado have collected 23 points from their Primera B Nacional home games so far after 7-2-4. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Alvarado to get some points in this home game.

Stress levels are on the rise for Alvarado's attacking players as they have now played 332 minutes without scoring in a league game. F. Cadenazzi was their last goal scorer.

Preceding that match was the home game against Quilmes that was lost 0-1.

The Alvarado fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 13 matches.

Estudiantes Caseros form and stats

Estudiantes Caseros have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Primera B Nacional, after 1-5-7 (13 played).

Estudiantes had fun at their own home (Estadio José María Minella) last time out, beating Tigre 2-1. N. Rinaldi and T. Bolzicco scored.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Quilmes wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

The attacking power of Estudiantes when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 13 league matches away. As opposed to that, Estudiantes have seen the ball go into their own net 15 times on the road.
