Belgrano form and stats

11-2-0 is the performance here at Estadio Julio César Villagra so far in the Primera B Nacional, giving Belgrano a total of 35 from their 13 games here. Outstanding results!

Belgrano are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Ferro Carril Oeste. This club delivered a ten league matches long run without a loss before that game!

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Independiente Rivadavia.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Belgrano matches with similar probabilities have ended with 3 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat (from 8 games).

Low-scoring affair? In this team's last 14 league matches, 13 have produced less than three goals (under 2.5).

The Belgrano fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 20 goals in 13 league matches. Defensively Belgrano have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (6 in 13 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Atletico Mitre form and stats

Atletico Mitre have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Primera B Nacional, after 3-3-7 (13 played).

Atletico Mitre's last game was the home draw against Deportivo Riestra (1-1).

Before that, Atletico Mitre travelled to Club Atletico Guemes and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Mitre playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 0 away wins, 4 draws and 1 home win.

Few goals the story here? 8 of this side's latest 10 league rounds have seen two goals or less.

Atletico Mitre have conceded 15 goals in these away matches.
